HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the surface: Ensure the vehicle’s paint surface is thoroughly clean and free of dirt, grit, and contaminants. Wash and decontaminate the area you plan to work on.
• Attach to polisher: Securely attach the Hi-Tech Industries 8″ Double Sided Wool Buffing Pad to a rotary polisher with the appropriate backing plate. Ensure it is centered and firmly attached.
• Apply compound: Apply a small amount of your chosen heavy-cut compound directly onto the wool pad. Start with 3–4 pea-sized drops for an 8-inch pad.
• Spread product: Lightly place the pad flat on the paint surface before turning on the polisher. Spread the compound over a small working area (e.g., 2ft x 2ft) at a very low speed.
• Begin compounding: Increase the polisher speed to the recommended setting for your compound and polisher. Work the pad slowly and evenly over the section, using consistent pressure and overlapping passes.
• Monitor progress: Work the compound until it begins to clear or hazes slightly. Do not overwork the product or allow it to dry on the pad.
• Inspect and clean: Turn off the polisher, lift the pad, and wipe away any compound residue from the paint with a clean microfiber towel. Inspect the treated area for defect removal. If necessary, repeat the process.
• Pad maintenance: Regularly clean the wool pad using a pad spur or compressed air during your compounding session to prevent product buildup and maintain cutting efficiency. For deeper cleaning, wash the pad with a dedicated pad cleaner after use.
