NOTE:
If you turn the polisher on without the applicator bonnet touching your
work surface, the bonnet will loosen and sail off.
Make sure the polisher with
bonnet is lightly resting on the surface you intend to polish and remains on the surface after
powering up and stopping the unit.
• Your unit is now ready to apply wax. A liquid wax is recommended because of its ease of
application, but a paste wax will also work with a little more effort. Using a good quality
wax apply it directly on the bonnet, adequately covering the entire bonnet, and also spread
a small amount of wax to the bonnet edges. Invert the polisher and place the bonnet
directly on the surface you want to apply the wax to and slide the power-switch to the on
position. You can also substitute a cleaning agent at this step if the surface is oxidized.
Place the power cord over your shoulder to avoid contact with the polisher head or the
surface while the unit is running. Always start and stop polisher on or against the car surface.

• Turn the polisher on and steer it in long sweeping strokes in a criss-cross figure-eight pattern,
working the wax/cleaner into the paint.
DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE UNIT
.
The weight of the polisher is adequate to do the task correctly.
• Apply more wax to the bonnet as necessary to maintain a thin even coat on the car surface
(
NOTE:
Applying too much wax adds no more protection to the surface and makes the task
of removal far more difficult). It’s easiest to apply wax to the entire surface before starting the
removal phase. For best results, refer to the specific application recommendations of the
product being used.
• Any areas inaccessible to the Vector waxer/polisher should be waxed by hand.
