The polisher is a power tool used in the finishing process, used with polishing buffs and compound sponges to yield a dramatic difference on a painted surface.
The objective of polishing is to remove imperfections in the clear-coat that cause the paint to look dull. Surface imperfections can include swirls, scratches, water spots, etchings, industrial fallout, oxidation, etc. Steps to take when polishing a panel:
Preparing the panel:
– Sometimes a panel has fine over-spray left from spraying the clear-coat
– This needs to be removed by lightly sanding with a fine abrasive paper
– All over-spray need to be sanded out up to P1500 grit
– The panel should be washed when all spray-finishing defects have been removed
– Any dirt particles could cause scratch marks when polishing
– Tight curves and ends of the panel should be masked-off to prevent the effects caused by point pressure
– The polisher should always be used on flat surfaces Applying the polishing compound:
– A five rand coin amount of polishing compound should be applied to the buff
– Switch the polisher to it’s lowest speed setting
– Switch on the polisher and gradually spread the polishing compound over the panel
– Keep moving the polisher on the panel to have as little amount of pressure and friction
– The polishing compound will remove the scratch marks caused by the P1500 sand paper and it will bring out an impressive gloss finish
– Remove the masking from the panels and apply the polishing compound to a microfiber cloth
– Hand polish (by moving your hand in a small circular motion) the tight curves and ends in the panels until the same finish is achieved as from the polisher Wash the panel when finished:
– Wash the panel after polishing to remove any residue from the polishing compound. What’s in the box
