Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure the vehicle is thoroughly washed and dried to prevent dragging dirt across the paint. Always perform a spot test in an inconspicuous area to verify compatibility with your specific paint system. When applying, use a damp microfiber cloth for hand application; for machine use, equip a medium polishing pad. Avoid application in direct sunlight or on panels that are hot to the touch, as this causes the compound to flash off too quickly. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightened to prevent evaporation. Avoid contact with glass, vinyl, or unpainted plastics, as the abrasives can mark these materials permanently.
