APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Read all warnings in their entirety, prior to beginning. Next you will begin preparing your surface, ensuring it is clean and free of dirt. Before starting, shake the compound bottle well and ensure you have a number of clean cloths. Apply the polish in a modest quantity, working it into the surface with a clean cloth through overlapping circular motions in small sections. Continue to apply and buff rigorously as needed, switching out the cloth often to achieve a pristine shine. Ensure excess product is removed post-buffing. For machine buffing, employ a wool or foam compounding pad at a moderate speed between 1400-2000 RPM, focusing on one section at a time approximately 2' x 2'. To minimize compound slinging, apply the compound in an X pattern using a chip brush on the targeted area. Start the compounder with light pressure and gradually reduce the pressure further as the material dries, polishing the surface. Persistently work through each section until all sanding and swirl marks are eliminated ensuring you are swapping out your buffing pads regularly to maintain a consistent finish and prevent hazing. Avoid application in direct sunlight and promptly remove any spatter with a damp cloth. For a high shine and to achieve a high gloss, follow up with our Better Boat Polishing Compound.
