Compounding
^
Next, apply a machine rubbing compound like 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound (or equivalent) to the repair area. A six-inch stripe
of compound is enough to begin this process.
^
Use the buffing pad to evenly smear the repair area with the rubbing compound.
^
Use a polisher, running at less than 2400 rpm, to compound the repair area. Keep the pad flat against the panel and apply only light
pressure. Polishers that run at speeds higher than 2400 rpm and the use of heavy pressure may burn the paint. Panel edges and sharp
contours should be compounded by hand to avoid burn-through. Check the repair area often and apply more compound if you need it.
