- 1). Spread a small amount of compound cream over the oxidized paintwork with a soft, lint-free cloth or a compounding pad. Mist the pad or cloth lightly with water from a spray bottle before you add the compound cream.
- 2). Run the orbital buffer over the treated area of paintwork. Start with a speed of 1,000 rpm and gradually increase the speed, working the orbital buffer in a figure-eight pattern. Continue until the cutting cream has taken off the oxidation.
- 3). Spray the area with a solution of 1 part isopropyl alcohol to 1 part water, and wipe the area with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- 4). Rub car polish onto the paintwork with a clean, lint-free cloth.
- 5). Place a clean polishing pad on to the orbital buffer, then use the buffer to rub the polish into the paintwork. Again, start with a speed of 1,000 rpm and gradually increase the speed, working in a figure-eight pattern. Stop buffing when all polish residue has been removed and the paintwork is restored to its full gloss.
