Polishing
The various polishing products such as rubbing compound, finish cleaner, wax, polish
are all referred to below as polishing compound.
• There are several types of polishing compound which can be used, but this angle
polisher is designed for use with liquid polishing compound.
• Always read the instructions accompanying the polishing compound to ensure that
it is suitable for use with a polishing machine.
1. Unplug the polisher and fit a polishing sponge onto the backing pad. Only use
clean and undamaged polishing sponges and change them if you change the type
of polishing compound. Most polishing sponges are washable, so all you need to
do is have a few of them so you can wash them and reuse them.
2. Apply the polishing compound to the polishing
sponge. Begin by applying a small amount of
polishing compound. Do NOT spread polishing
compound onto the surface to be polished.
3. Place the mains lead of the polisher over your shoulder to keep it out of the way
whilst polishing. Note: Hold the polisher in both hands so that the polishing sponge
rests on the surface to be polished and begin polishing on the lowest speed
setting. Move the polisher up and down over the surface to be polished applying
a light pressure. Keep the polisher moving all the time as paint finishes can be
ruined if polishers are left polishing one spot for too long.
4. Intricate surfaces such as wing mirrors, door handles and grilles should be
polished by hand.
• The most common mistake made when polishing is the use of too much polishing
compound. Soaking the polishing sponge with polishing compound will make
polishing more difficult and increase the polishing time. Using too much polish will
shorten the useful life of the polishing sponge/pad.
• If the polishing sponge detaches itself from the backing pad, you have probably
used too much polishing compound.

Maintenance

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or
servicing.
• Always store the polisher with the backing pad facing up to prevent it from deforming.
• Remove the polishing sponge from the backing pad when you have finished work.
• Wash the polishing sponge by hand and let it air dry.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
• Clean the exterior of the polisher using a cloth lightly moistened with water and
a mild detergent.
