INSTRUCTIONS
Lyons Classic Fiber-Link Products are resistant to scu s and scratches. It is, however, possible
to scratch the surface. In almost all cases, a scu or scratch can be repaired and the surface
brought back to its original luster. Please follow these steps to get the best results.
Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2” x 2” for all sanding 1.
and use lots of water. The water serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue buildup
on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the e ective life of the paper and may scratch the
surface you’re trying to polish.
2000 grit paper is the  nest grit available (the higher the number, the  ner the grit). If you 2.
can’t remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash
the paper frequently with water as you sand.
If all of the scratches can’t be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should3.
remove most  ne scratches. If you have deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may
have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually
put in more scratches than it removes.
Once you have removed all of the scratches, by sanding with the  nest paper possible, 4.
repeat the sanding process using successively  ner grits of paper until you’ve once again
sanded with 2000 grit.
Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable 5.
pressure to produce a smooth, shinny  nish.
* One sheet of each grit sandpaper is su cient for scratch repair. 3M® wet-dry brand can be
purchased at most auto supply stores.
