Fast-Mover FMT6089 Compound Polishing Pad Kit With M14 115mm Plate - 3PC

The FMT6089 Fast Mover Compound Polishing Pad Kit, which includes a 3-piece set with an M14 thread and a 115mm backing plate, is typically used for polishing and buffing in automotive detailing and surface refinishing tasks. Here's a guide on its usage:

Components:

1. 115mm M14 Backing Plate – Attaches to the rotary or dual-action (DA) polisher.
2. 3 Polishing Pads – Generally consist of different levels of abrasiveness (cutting, polishing, and finishing).

Usage Instructions:

1. Mount the Backing Plate:

   • Attach the M14 backing plate to your polisher. The M14 thread fits most polishers with compatible thread patterns.

2. Select the Appropriate Pad:

   • Cutting Pad (usually a more aggressive pad): Use this for heavy-duty polishing to remove deeper scratches, oxidation, or swirl marks.
   • Polishing Pad (medium abrasive): Use this for light to medium scratches and imperfections.
   • Finishing Pad (softer, for final polish): Use this for applying waxes or sealants and for high-gloss finishing.

3. Apply Compound/Polish:

   • Apply a small amount of compound or polish to the pad. Spread the product on the surface of the vehicle before turning on the polisher.

4. Polish the Surface:

   • Start the polisher at a low speed to distribute the compound, then gradually increase the speed to achieve the desired result.
   • Move the polisher in overlapping passes across the surface in a controlled manner, maintaining even pressure.

5. Check the Results:

   • After polishing, check the surface for any remaining imperfections. Repeat the process if necessary, using finer pads for finishing.

6. Clean the Pads:

   • Clean the pads after use to remove excess compound or polish. Pads can be washed with warm water and a mild detergent.

This kit is ideal for polishing paint surfaces, headlights, and other automotive components that need a high-gloss finish.
