Application Guide:

Generally used to remove fine scratches from mold and part surfaces. Great for polishing molds, parts, and painted surfaces. Spread #1103 Step Two Mold Polish on the surface to be compounded with a brush or cloth, several square feet at a time—using one-half the normal amount - and mist the surface with water. Immediately machine buff with a clean, damp compounding pad (such as our #1104-A lambs wool buffing pad ). For best results, use machine buffers that generate at least 2500 rpm. Repeat the process to eliminate scratches from exceptionally hard surfaces. (Or if you haven't done so, first use part #1102 Step One Mold Polish ) Should the compound become dry while being buffed, re-wet again by misting the surface with water.
