Surfaces that have an old film of wax or polish, or that
have not been polished or waxed for an extended pe-
riod of time, may require a second application. This is
especially true on oxidized surfaces. Heavily oxidized
surfaces should be cleaned with a commercial paste or
liquid cleaner before polishing or waxing.
_ ARNING: Check polishing bonnets before
each use. Make sure they are clean and free from
any loose particles or foreign objects that may be
embedded in the bonnet. Failure to do so could
cause these particles or objects to be thrown
from the tool resulting in possible serious injury.
