Apply pressure until the buffer begins to stall, and then reduce pressure until the buffer rotates normally.
At a rate of 1 inch per second, move the buffer side to side in a 6 inch area centered on the paint inclusion.
CAUTION: Keep the tool level and continuously moving.
Turn the buffer off after 15 seconds or when the cutting compound begins to dissipate. Remove the buffer from the body panel only when the pad stops spinning.
Remove the cutting compound from the body panel with a clean microfiber towel.
Inspect the affected area.
- If sanding marks are still present, perform steps 6 to 13.
- If sanding marks are no longer present, and only hazing/swirling remain, continue to the next step.
Turn on the buffer, and then clean the pad with a pad cleaning brush.
With the buffer still running, use a microfiber towel to remove as much residual compound as possible from the pad, and then turn off the buffer.
