"Hi my name is Matthew Christian from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to talk about the proper use of a high speed polish machine. Prior and doing the use of a high speed polisher you would want to keep your pad as clean as possible. As we mentioned earlier the tool that we use for this we call it a spur. You should always start off with a clean or new buffing pad but even though it is clean now you want to make sure there is no particles in there and also we want to fluff the pad up. Again one of the ways we would do that is by holding the buffer sturdy with one hand. Spur in the other, turn the buffer on and then we are going to gently rub the spur across the pad. Make sure you have a good grip on the spur cause otherwise the buffer can pull it off our hand and it could go flying, potentially hit somebody or break something. So hold both items, turn the buffer on and then gently go back and forth like this. "
