- Compound/Polish Application: Apply an appropriate amount of medium-cut compound or polish directly to the pad or the work surface. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Machine Speed: Begin polishing at a low speed to spread the product evenly, then increase to a moderate speed suitable for defect removal. Refer to your polisher's manual for recommended speed settings.
- පීඩනය: Apply light to moderate, even pressure. Avoid excessive pressure, which can overheat the surface, damage the pad, or reduce cutting efficiency.
- චලනය: Work in small sections, using overlapping passes. Maintain consistent movement to prevent holograms or uneven results.
- Pad Cleaning During Use: Regularly clean the pad during extended use to prevent product buildup and maintain cutting performance. Use a pad brush or compressed air to remove caked-on compound.
