How to Use Prime the pad (light smear for microfiber; 3–4 pea-size drops for foam). Work a 2'×2' section on speed 3–5 (DA) with light–moderate pressure and slow arm speed. Clean on the fly (pad brush/air) every 1–2 sections; add 2–3 drops to reload. Wipe & inspect, then step down pads/polish as needed to refine. Care: Wash with pad cleaner or mild liquid detergent; rinse thoroughly; air dry face-up. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat.
