How To Use
-
Prep: Wash/decontaminate. If coating later, wipe panels with REVEAL Pre-Coat Surface Prep.
-
Prime & load: Thoroughly prime the microfiber face with compound, then add 3–4 pea-sized drops.
-
Cut a small section: Work ~2' × 2' (60 × 60 cm) with slow, overlapping passes and moderate pressure; lighten pressure for the last 1–2 passes.
-
Wipe & inspect: Remove residue with a clean microfiber; inspect under strong, focused lighting.
-
Keep fibers open: Clean on the fly frequently (pad brush or compressed air). Switch pads if saturated or matted.

Notes: Always perform a test spot and use the least aggressive combo that achieves your goal. Avoid dry buffing; keep the microfiber fluffed and cool for consistent performance.
