FAQs
What kind of drill do I need?
A 3/8" corded drill that operates between 1200-2,500 RPM is recommended for optimal performance.
What pads do I need?
The kit includes a polishing tool and 4" polishing pad, but compounding and waxing pads are sold separately.
How do I clean the pads?
Clean pads after each use with a pad cleaner or by hand. Make sure to remove all the product residue.
Can I use this on any type of paint?
Yes, it is safe for all paint types when used correctly. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How much product should I use?
A little product goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
What is the dual-action motion?
The dual-action motion means the pad rotates and oscillates, which helps prevent swirl marks and paint damage.
Where can I find replacement pads?
Replacement pads can be purchased from various retailers that sell Meguiar's products.
Troubleshooting
Drill not turning on.
Check the power source and ensure the drill is properly plugged in and switched on.
Poor results or insufficient shine.
Ensure you are using the correct pad for the task (compounding, polishing, waxing). Check your drill speed and product application.
Swirl marks appear after polishing.
Reduce pressure and speed, and ensure the pad is clean. It may also be a sign of using an improper pad.
Tool vibrates excessively.
Ensure the pad is correctly centered and securely attached. Check for any damage or wear on the backing plate or tool.
