FAQs

What is the best way to clean the polishing sponge?

Rinse the sponge with clean water to remove compound residue. You can use a dedicated sponge cleaning solution or mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Can I use this sponge on any type of paint?

Yes, but always test in an inconspicuous area first. Choose the appropriate polishing compound for the paint type.

How often should I replace the polishing sponge?

Replace the sponge when it becomes worn, damaged, or no longer performs effectively. This depends on usage.

What type of backing pad is needed?

It requires a hook and loop backing pad. The size should match the sponge size (80mm).

Can I use this sponge by hand?

While it can be used by hand, it is designed for use with a polisher for optimal results.

What is the correct pressure to use?

Use moderate pressure. Adjust the pressure based on the compound being used and the desired correction level.

Troubleshooting

Sponge is not cutting effectively.

Ensure you are using the correct polishing compound for the paint type and the level of correction required. Increase the pressure if necessary.

Sponge leaves swirl marks.

Reduce pressure, use a finer polishing compound, or switch to a finishing pad. Ensure the sponge is clean and free of debris.
