How to use

Attach the polishing bonnet to a compatible backing pad using the tie and secure it firmly before operation. Apply a suitable polish or compound to the bonnet or the work surface as recommended for the material being treated. Operate the rotary polishing tool at a moderate speed, using even, overlapping passes and light pressure to avoid overheating or burning the surface. Periodically check the bonnet for contamination and clean or replace it when performance decreases.

Recommendations

For best results, match the KWB 485500 polishing sponge with appropriate polishing compounds for the target material and progress from coarser to finer abrasives when removing deeper defects. Use controlled speed settings and light pressure to preserve surface edges and avoid heat damage. Clean the bonnet after use and store it dry to maintain its performance and longevity.
