required. Keep buffer moving over surface, this will
help keep the surface cool. Clean compound residue

marks have been buffed out the surface may still
appear a little dull, if so, proceed to #10.

11. Spread #8232 polish on surface as in step #3.
12. Polish to a high luster or as required to match
surrounding material.
