3.  Begin buffing using light to moderate pressure in an overlapping pattern while keeping the pad flat

      against the paint at all times.

4.  Work a small section (2’ x 2’) at a time, until the compound starts to turn clear. Apply additional

     compound as needed until defects have been removed.

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed to complete the rest of the vehicle.

2.  Apply a bead of compound directly to the paint surface and begin working in a 2’ x 2’ area with

     overlapping passes. Continue working until defects or sanding marks are removed.

3.  Wipe remaining residue with a microfiber cloth.
