and apply harsh grit buffing compound to the pad.

just enough pressure to remove grease, grit, and grime.
CAUTION: APPLY MINIMUM PRESSURE TO CORNERS AND EDGES SO AS NOT TO
REMOVE THE GEL COATING.
3. Holding the polisher flat on the surface and applying very light
pressure, buff the unit to restore the gloss and remove slight
scratches.
