feature on this tool will perform better when less pressure is
applied. Applying excessive pressure will slow the random
orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.
iMPORTAnT: Wax applicator bonnets should only be used
once, then disposed of properly.
Buffing and Polishing
Ensure bonnet is clean and free of any loose particles or
foreign objects that could be thrown or scratch finish
nOTE: You should use utmost care when power polishing
around or over sharp objects and contours of the car
body. It is very important to use the correct pressure while
polishing various sections of an automobile body. For
example, light pressure should be applied when polishing
over sharp edges of body panels, or over edges of the rain
gutter along the top.
1. Wait until wax has dried to an even haze on vehicle.
2. Turn buffer/polisher ON.
iMPORTAnT: DO NOT apply excessive pressure against
the work surface with this tool. The random orbital motion
feature on this tool will perform better when less pressure is
applied. Applying excessive pressure will slow the random
orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.
nOTE: For best results, use long, sweeping strokes in a
criss‑cross pattern when removing wax.
3. Buff and polish the entire surface until all dried wax is
removed. Remove the bonnet from time to time and
shake out the dried wax residue. A bonnet with excess
residue will cause streaking. You may need to replace the
bonnet with a new one if you can't get it clean enough to
avoid streaking.
nOTE: The high‑speed rubbing action of the polishing
bonnet upon the surface of an automobile can build a static
charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can result in a
sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal
area of the tool is touched, and will be more noticeable
on days when the humidity is low. This is a harmless
phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to a
CRAFTSMAN service center where it can be checked to assure
that no electrical malfunction is present.
Vehicle Care Tips
• Wash and polish the vehicle 3 to 4 times a year to help
ensure paint protection.
• Wash the vehicle at least every 2 weeks with a vehicle
wash solution which will not harm the finish or strip the
wax. AVOID washing with household detergents.
• Wash with a clean sponge and dry with a terry cloth
towel to help prevent dirt from scratching the paint. Start
on the top and work down.
• Remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and tar from the
vehicle's surface on a daily basis.
• ALWAYS make sure that the vehicle's surface is cool
before washing.
• Avoid parking near sprinklers, because water spots are
difficult to remove.
• ALWAYS keep glass cleaner chemicals away from painted
surfaces. Spray the cleaner onto a towel, NOT directly on
the windows.
