Usage Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure the vehicle’s surface is clean and free from contaminants. For best results, use a clay bar or decontamination wash before polishing.

2. Application:

   • Attach the Glissen Medium Cut 6" DA Foam Pad to a 5-inch backing plate on your DA polisher.
   • Apply 3-4 pea-sized drops of your preferred medium-cut polish or compound onto the pad.
   • Start the polisher at a low speed to spread the product evenly, then increase to medium speed (typically speed 3-5 on a DA polisher) using moderate pressure.
   • Work in small sections, overlapping passes until the polish begins to clear and defects are minimized.

3. Finishing:

   • Wipe off excess product with a clean Glissen N1tro 320GSM microfiber towel for a streak-free, high-gloss finish.
   • Follow up with a finer polish and a finishing pad for an even deeper shine if necessary.
