6.3.2 Applying polishing agent on the paint

6.3.1 Applying polishing agent on the polishing sponge

6.3.3 Polishing the paintwork

Apply the product only to painted surfaces, never to plastic parts or rubber seals. Using the polishing sponge, dab the care product onto various spots on the surface to be polished. Adjust the speed to the lowest level using an adjustment wheel (position 2 in the overview). Hold the device using both the hands. Rest the device with polishing sponge on the surface to be processed. Switch the device on using the ON/OFF switch (Position 3 in the overview). Pass the device evenly over the paintwork. Do not put pressure on the device. The work is carried out by the rotation process, not the pressure on the paintwork. First treat the large, at surfaces such as bonnet, root and boot lid. Then move on to smaller areas, such as doors and wings. For areas that cannot be reached using the polishing machine, remove the polishing sponge and polish by hand. Apply the care product evenly up to the edge of the polishing sponge. A continuous, thin coating must be ensured. After you have evenly applied and worked in the care product, it must be removed and the paintwork must be polished. Depending on manufacturer/type, the applied polishing agent must be completely dry. Now completely remove the care product by polishing the paintwork in the same order in which you applied the polish. Set a suitable speed for your care product.

7. Maintenance and care

Clean the polishing machine after each use. Pay particular attention to ensure the ventilations slots are clean To do this, use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Never allow liquids to get into the device. You can use compressed air at a low-pressure to blow-out the device. The polishing sponge must be washed by hand in warm water. Leave the polishing sponge to air dry. Store the polishing machine without the polishing sponge. Position the polishing machine in such a way that the polishing plate is not distorted. Do not place other objects on the polishing plate. Applying excess care product will not improve the results, it will just make it more dicult to remove. Polishing too long on the same spot may damage the varnish. Do not polish the vehicle in full sunlight or in very high temperatures. Reset the speed to the lowest level after every disconnection. Avoid accidents during the next restart.Reset the speed to the lowest level after every disconnection. Avoid accidents during the next restart.
