Applying einszett Polishes & Wax
The following are directions for application of any of
our polish and wax products. The process is basic. There
are no special tips or tricks. Just let the product do
the work. If you have a question about using any of our
other products, do not hesitate to contact
us.
Polishing
Polishes maybe applied
in one of several ways:
100%
Terry Cotton Towel
Pour a quarter size amount of polish on car surface or
towel. As stated on the product label, apply one section
at a time (approx. 2 Sq. Ft.), with light to medium pressure
in a circular, up and down motion. Do not apply too much
pressure, lean your bodyweight into the surface, etc.
Next, allow the product to dry to a haze and wipe off
with a clean towel. Repeat process if necessary. Continue
this process doing section by section until car is completed.
Foam Applicator Pad
Apply in the same manner as stated above for towel
application. Do use a clean towel for wiping off excess
polish and buffing.
We prefer the use of a towel over an applicator pad because
the cotton fibers of the towel created more friction which
allows the polish to be more effective at cleaning.
Dual Action Orbital Polisher (i.e. Porter
Cable) vs. Hand Application
The advantages of using a DA over hand application
are as follows:
1) DA's allow for more consistent results from beginning
to end -- fatigue, which is a factor in hand application,
is not a factor with the DA since the machine is doing
all the work. This means that you apply the same consistent
effort throughout the entire polishing process. This translates
into better results from beginning to end.
2) Less product is needed. The same amount of polish poured
for hand application can treat about twice as much surface
area with the DA.
3) A DA reduces application time without sacrificing quality.
To apply using a DA, pour product on to either car surface
or polishing pad. With DA in "off" position, spread product
on to surface--this prevents splatter. Turn DA "on" and
work in a 2 Sq Ft area. Starting from the top of the section
working your way down, move in a side to side motion,
overlapping as you move downwards. When product dries
to a haze, wipe off with a clean cotton towel. Repeat
process if necessary.
Rotary Polisher:
NOTE: For experienced users only. Improper use can result
in damage to the paintwork.
1Z polishes in the Shop Line and Pro-Line are designed
to work exceptionally well with rotary buffers.
Unlike competing polishes, 1Z polishes are designed to
stay wet longer and are low dusting which means easy clean
up.
Waxing
Since einszett Glanz Wax is unlike
any other wax, application differs slightly.
With an applicator foam pad or a terry cotton towel, pour
a small amount onto either pad or towel and then wipe
on surface of car. Since it applies in liquid form, a
small amount will cover a large area. So be cautious the
first time and don't pour too much.
Treat only one section at a time. After 30-60 seconds
the product will turn from a liquid form to a milky gray
color. When this happens, use a clean cotton towel or
microfiber towel to wipe off. Continue to use a clean
side of cloth to wipe off remaining wax. If the product
gets on black plastic trim, do not be concerned. Glanz
Wax will not leave a white residue or chalky remains.
Continue the process section by section until the entire
car is completed. Note: you might notice streaks
on the paint from the wax. This is usually the result
of using too much product. Simply spray the paintwork
surface with water and re-buff with a clean towel or microfiber. |
