How To Use

1. Mount: Thread the plate onto your rotary polisher (5/8"). Snug by hand.
2. Center the pad: Press a clean pad onto the hook-and-loop face, centered.
3. Prime & set speed: Add 3–4 pea-sized drops of compound; start at low RPM to spread.
4. Work the section: Keep the pad flat; overlap slow passes with light, even pressure.
5. Maintain: Clean pads frequently; swap when saturated to preserve cut and finish.

Notes: For edges and contours, reduce pressure and RPM. Always use appropriate pad/compound combos for the paint system.
