Body Shops – Using a rotary polisher
Step 1: Prepare the surface by sanding the paint with the sanding paper of your choice. Step 2: Attach preferred foam or wool cutting pad to backing plate on rotary polisher and set speed setting to low or medium. Step 3: Apply 4-5 dime sized drops of product onto center of face of buffing pad. Press face of pad against body panel, turn polisher on and spread product over area to be worked, about 2’ by 2’. Step 4: Move polisher over paint using a slow to medium arm speed. Monitor defect removal as you buff. Once sanding marks or paint defects are removed, stop buffing and remove any excess product using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
Detail Shops/Enthusiasts – Using an orbital polisher
Step 1: Prepare the surface by first washing, drying, and removing any above surface bonded contaminants using detailing clay or a clay substitute. Step 2: Attach preferred foam, microfiber or wool cutting pad to backing plate on orbital polisher and set speed setting to low or medium. Step 3: Apply 4-5 dime sized drops of product onto center of face of buffing pad. Press face of pad against body panel, turn polisher on and spread product over area to be worked, about 2’ by 2’. Step 4: Turn polisher to a medium to high speed and begin making overlapping passes. Move polisher over paint using a slow to medium arm speed. Monitor defect removal as you buff. Once paint defects are removed to your satisfaction, stop buffing and remove any excess product using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
Professional Technique Tips
Orbital Polishers Use lots of foam pads - Due to the way any liquid polish can saturate into foam polishing and finishing pads – switch to a clean, dry foam pad often. You’ll get better results faster if you switch to clean, soft dry foam pads often versus trying to buff out an entire car with only a few pads. 1 pad per 2 body panels - Figure 2 large panels per pad and then switch to a clean, dry foam pad. For a 2-door passenger car with 9 panels, (hood, roof, trunk lid, 2 front fenders, 2 doors and 2 rear fenders), this means have 4-5 foam pads on hand for the polishing step to do the job right. Clean your pad often - Together with swapping to a fresh, clean dry pad often, when working around the body panels of any vehicle using a foam polishing or finishing pad – clean the face of the pad often using a nylon pad cleaning brush.
