Polishing
These instructions and suggestions are intended to
familiarize new operators in overall general operation
of power polishing. You will develop your own
techniques which will make the job easier and faster
as you learn power polishing.
såå 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.å
så Since everyone does not use the same type
of power polish, we recommend you clean
and polish a test section on a flat area of the
car first. From this TESTåSECTIONåYOUåCANåJUDGEå
the strength or cleaning action of your power
polish.

same. Different brands will react differently
on various painted surfaces. Also, you are
now using a power polisher with power
polish. This is entirely different from any
hand application which you may have done
before. Wash the car before power polishing
it. Washing will remove loose dirt, scum, road
salt, etc. which could act as an abrasive and
damage paint. Loose dirt, etc. will also clog
the polishing pad and you will have to clean it
more often.

handles of the tool and pick it up. Keep the
tool away from your body and depress the
trigger switch. Make sure you have a firm
grip on the handles and operate the tool
freely without forced effort or unnecessary
pressure. The side handle can be easily
changed to either side of the tool for left-
handed or right-handed operation.
