HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Surface: Thoroughly wash and decontaminate the vehicle’s paint surface. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free of any loose dirt or debris.
2. Attach the Pad: Securely attach the Hi-Tech Industries Mini Velcro Wool Cutting Pad (HB-3175) to a compatible 3.5-inch mini Velcro backing plate on your chosen polisher or rotary tool.
3. Apply Compound: Apply a small amount of your preferred light to medium cutting compound directly onto the pad. Start with a pea-sized amount, adding more as needed.
4. Start Compounding: Place the pad flat on the paint surface before starting the machine. Begin polishing at a low speed, spreading the compound evenly over a small section (e.g., 2ft x 2ft).
5. Increase Speed: Gradually increase the machine’s speed to the manufacturer’s recommended setting for compounding. Work in overlapping passes, applying light to medium pressure.
6. Monitor Progress: Continuously check the paint surface to assess the defect removal. Avoid excessive heat buildup by keeping the pad moving and lifting it periodically.
7. Wipe Off Residue: Once the desired correction is achieved in that section, turn off the machine and carefully remove any compound residue with a clean, soft microfiber towel.
8. Inspect and Repeat: Inspect the corrected area under good lighting. Repeat the process on adjacent sections until the entire vehicle or target area is complete.
