4.2 General Polishing Technique
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean and free of dirt or debris.
- Apply Compound/Polish: Apply a small amount of polishing compound directly to the pad or the surface.
- Spread Evenly: Before turning on the polisher, dab the pad onto the surface in a few spots to spread the compound.
- Start Polishing: Turn on the polisher at a low speed and gradually increase as needed. Work in small sections, using a cross-hatch pattern (moving horizontally then vertically) with light, even pressure.
- Monitor Heat: Avoid excessive pressure or staying in one spot for too long to prevent heat buildup.
- Wipe Off Residue: After polishing a section, wipe off any residue with a clean microfiber cloth.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Polisher
After each use, wipe down the polisher body with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the heat vents are clear of debris to maintain proper cooling.
5.2 Cleaning Pads
Regularly clean your polishing and sanding pads. For foam pads, rinse them with water and a mild detergent, then allow them to air dry completely. Wool pads may require a specific wool pad cleaner. Proper cleaning extends pad life and prevents cross-contamination between different compounds.
5.3 Battery Care
Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid fully discharging the batteries before recharging. If storing for extended periods, charge them to approximately 50% capacity.
