Press a Twistouch Double Magic disc onto the backer face — the twist-and-lock design seats the disc securely. Apply your hook-and-loop polishing pad (Twistouch Turbo, Ceramica or compatible) onto the Double Magic surface. Confirm no-load RPM does not exceed 4,000 RPM. Run wet with center water-feed for stone polishing; dry running is acceptable for fast dressing only. Use light, even pressure and keep the pad moving along the work. To change pads, simply peel and replace the hook-&-loop disc; replace the Double Magic when its fibers are worn flat.
