HANDY HINTS

Dress the mop with compound across the rotating face for a few seconds taking care not to overload the mop - it is far better to apply a little compound more frequently than to overdress the mop.

After applying the compound, bring the workpiece to the wheel and with light pressure move back and forth across the job.

After the job is finished to your satisfaction, remove any compound residue with mineral turpentine or methylated spirits.
