Clean and dry the vehicle, preferably in the shade. Test all products on an inconspicuous part of the vehicle to get a feel for how they work.
|
Apply compound by hand, or with a buffer turned OFF to work material evenly into the buffing pad and the work area. Buff in lengthwise strokes with the bodylines of the vehicle. Do not work in circles as this can show up as "swirls."
|
Use a random-orbital buffer if so equipped. If using a circular buffer, be extremely careful not to burn through the paint or clearcoat. Let the product do the work. Lengthwise even strokes with light pressure are key.
|
Make sure to remove all of the rubbing compound before moving on to polishing. Polishing compound is applied in the same way as rubbing compound. In general, use the most aggressive product first, followed in sequence by less aggressive product or products
|
The results speak for themselves. Regardless of which type of product you use, always apply a good coat of wax as a final step and on a regular basis thereafter to protect the paint, and prevent oxidation from starting up again.
