Operating Instructions

1. Pad Selection:

Different pads are designed for specific tasks. Generally, thicker, firmer pads are used for cutting (removing heavy imperfections), while softer, lighter pads are for polishing and finishing.

  • Cutting Pads (e.g., Orange Wave Foam Pad): Firmer texture, often with dimples, for removing deeper scratches and oxidation.
  • Polishing Pads (e.g., Blue Flat Foam Pad): Softer texture for refining the finish, removing minor swirls, and enhancing gloss.
  • Finishing Pads (e.g., Black Flat Foam Pad): Very soft for applying waxes, sealants, or achieving a final high-gloss finish.
  • Wool Pads: Aggressive cutting for severe paint defects.

2. Speed Control:

The polisher features 6 variable speed settings. Adjust the speed according to the task and the type of compound being used.

  • Speeds 1-2 (Low): Ideal for waxing and buffing.
  • Speeds 3-4 (Medium): Suitable for general polishing and cleaning.
  • Speeds 5-6 (High): Recommended for removing paint imperfections, deep scratches, and oxidation.

3. Polishing Technique:

  1. Apply a small amount of polishing compound evenly onto the pad or directly onto the surface area to be polished.
  2. Place the polisher flat on the surface before turning it on to prevent sling.
  3. Move the polisher in a criss-cross or overlapping pattern, ensuring even coverage. Apply light to moderate pressure.
  4. Work on small sections at a time (e.g., 2x2 feet) to ensure thorough and effective polishing.
  5. After polishing a section, wipe off any excess compound with a clean microfiber towel.
