Steps to take when polishing a panel:

1. 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.

2. Applying the polishing compound:

• A five rand coin amount of polishing compound should be applied to the
  sponge. 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.

3. Wash the panel when finished:

• Wash the panel after polishing to remove any residue from the polishing
  compound.
