Shake well before use
By Hand
Apply a small amount of compound onto a clean micro fibre cloth and rub the area to be restored/worked on in small circular motions. Then with a clean part of the cloth buff off the area to leave a uniform matt level surface. If you cannot achieve the desired finish using this method we recommend that you then use the mechanical method below.
By Mechanical Method
Set the drill speed between approx. 1500-2000 rpm. Apply a small amount of the compound to the centre of a lambswool or firm foam polishing pad; smear the compound around the area to be restored/worked on (apply more as required). Then using light to medium pressure move the drill back and forth over the affected area until the desired finish is achieved. Periodically check your progress to ensure you do not create any uneven surfaces or tide marks.
Be careful not to use excessive hand pressure or hold the drill in one place as this can cause damage to the surface.
Please Note: Cutting compounds work by physical abrasion and should be regarded as liquid sandpaper. We recommend you perform a compatibility test on a small inconspicuous area before using this product and wear protective eyewear. Do not cross contaminate any polishing cloths or pads with different compounds.
