HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the vehicle’s paint surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Wash and decontaminate the area thoroughly before beginning.
• Attach to Polisher: Securely attach the Hi-Tech Industries 8″ Hi-Buff Yellow Foam Buffing Pad (HB200) to a compatible 7-inch hook & loop backing plate on your rotary or dual-action polisher.
• Apply Product: Apply 3-4 pea-sized drops of your chosen medium-cut compound or polish evenly onto the pad.
• Work the Product: Place the pad flat on the surface to be polished. Start the polisher on a low speed to spread the product, then increase to a moderate speed (typically 3-4 for DA polishers, or 1200-1800 RPM for rotary). Work in a small section (e.g., 2×2 feet) using overlapping passes.

• Wipe Off Residue: Turn off the polisher, lift the pad, and use a clean microfiber towel to wipe away any excess product residue from the polished area.
