05 / Expert tips
Practical recommendations, not guarantees. Test each paint surface under suitable lighting.
Heavy surface defects, such as P2000 sanding marks. Requires sufficiently thick, intact paint. Finish if needed.
One step suffices when inspected correction and finish meet your goal. Microfibre + Max Cut on hard paint: experts only.
Between stages: remove residue, inspect and fit a clean, suitable pad.
06 / How to use
Wash, decontaminate if needed, dry. Work on cool paint in shade.
Centre pad, little polish, small sections. Match machine, pressure and technique to paint.
Remove residue; inspect under suitable lighting. Clean pads regularly, replace saturated ones. Monitor temperature.
Perfect Finish if needed. Remove polishing oils with suitable panel wipe before protection.
Three core pairings: cut, one-step, finish. Start with your main task. Extras: Ultra Cut, Ultra Soft, Microfibre and Wool.
No. Colours are brand-specific. Follow pad type, polish and system recommendations.
