How to Use 3M Polish

The 3M Company produces an array of products that range from medical bandages to car polishes. It's very simple to use a 3M polish: Usually it is just a matter of apply, polish and buff away. Depending on what you are polishing, you may be able to use a polishing machine. A polishing machine will do a faster job (as it polishes faster than any human hand can), leaving your item looking lustrous.

Things You'll Need

• Machine polisher
• 2 polishing pads

Instructions

1. Apply the polishing pads to a machine polisher, if they are not already attached. The application process will vary by machine, but usually they just slip on.

2. Apply the 3M polish directly to the polishing pad. You will need to reapply more 3M polish as you work.

3. Turn on the polisher and set it onto the item (usually a car) you are going to polish. Swirl your hands (while still holding onto the polisher) in a circular motion while using a medium pressure. Allow the polish to dry. Once it dries, it will look hazy.

4. Remove the soiled polishing pad and put on a clean one.

5. Place the polisher on the item you just polished and turn it on. Once again, move the polisher in a circular motion using medium pressure. Continue until the polish has been buffed off.
