OPERATION
POLISHING BONNET INSTALLATION
1. Unplug the polisher.
2. Inspect the base pad and clean off all dirt and debris.
3. Align the bonnet over the base pad. With the pad aligned, stretch the outer elastic ring to attach the bonnet se-
curely. Make sure that the rim of the bonnet is flush with the rim of the polisher.

A FEW TIPS ON WAXING AND POLISHING A CAR
Before applying any wax or compounding solution, make sure to wash the vehicle with soap and water. Remove all
dirt and bug residue from the surface and then dry completely with a clean microfiber towel. Use polishing clay after
cleaning if you want to give the extra 10 percent. Mask off areas such as handles, mirrors, bumpers, molding and
decals to combat possible damage from the polisher. Attach a clean polishing bonnet to your WEN Polisher.
For all car care products, apply a thin layer of compounding solution (probably a few drops depending on the
product) to a clean polishing bonnet and place the bonnet onto the surface of the car. Smear the solution around a
little on the pad using the surface of the car to prevent splattering. Then, while the pad is pressed against the car’s
surface, turn on the polisher. Apply all solutions to a two by two foot area before moving on to the next two by two
foot area of the car. It is recommended to not compound and wax in direct sunlight; use a shaded area or a garage
if possible.
NOTE:
always read and follow the instructions on your bottles of wax, polishing compound, etc. for best results.
Apply compounding solutions first. Compounds fight oxidation and scratches in the clear coat of the car. Keep in
mind that any scratches that can be felt with your fingernails are probably past repair by a compound, as they go
deeper than the top clear coat. Using moderate pressure, spread the compound over the surface of the car. While
the compound is still wet, remove with a clean, dry microfiber towel.
Next, repeat using a polishing solution to get the car really shining. After that, repeat with a car wax for surface pro-
tection and additional gloss. If done correctly, water droplets will form tiny beads on the surface of the car’s finish.
Feel free to try out different things and figure out a personal style that works best for you and your vehicle.
WARNING:
Always be sure the polisher is switched OFF and unplugged before making any
adjustments.
