Important Tips:
- Practice! You should get used to the machine on scrap before using it on your ride. There is a learning curve.
- Make sure to fluff the pad before use to remove all of the lose hair, fiber, and possible debris. Use a stiff brush for this.
- Keep the pad flat and balanced. You can also put the pad on an edge to achieve balance. Don’t let the machine walk or wobble
- Keep the pad moving. The rotating action generates ample heat and shouldn’t be left working in any given area for to long to reduce the risk of burning the paint
- Make sure you are working with a clean pad. Any dirt or abrasives in your pad will cut into the paint or gelcoat leaving noticeable scratches.
- If using a wool compounding pad, don’t let it get clogged with excess product. Make sure it stays clean by using a spur, brush, or simply changing pads
