Since everyone does not use the same type of Power Polish, we recom-
mend you clean and polish a test section on a flat area of the car FIRST.
From this test section, you can judge the strength or cleaning action of
your Power Polish. Remember, all Power Polish is not the same. Different
brands will react differently on various painted surfaces. Also, you are now
using a POWER POLISHER. This is entirely different from any hand applica-
tion which you may have done before.
Cleaning Compounds
The general procedure for using cleaning compound is similar to that used
for polishing. Spread a light coat of a good grade of compound on the sur-
face with a clean cloth or brush and apply the sander/polisher. USE CARE
TO KEEP THE PRESSURE LIGHT AND THE POLISHER IN CONSTANT
MOTION. Best results are obtained when the unit is operated with the pad
at a slight angle to work surface. Care should be taken in the amount and
coarseness (light, medium or heavy) of the compound used and the motion
and pressure exerted on the work surface.
Waxing
Waxing will protect the finish you have achieved from cleaning and polish-
ing your car. Hard paste wax should be applied by hand and removed with
the sander/polisher. Liquid waxes can be both applied and removed with
the tool. After the wax has been removed, use the sander/polisher and a
clean pad to bring out a high luster.
Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost
from your distributor or your local service center. Service centers are listed
in back of manual.

tool to a service center for a thorough cleaning and inspection.
Cleaning
