NOTE:  These procedures shall begin only after the Gel-Kote has completely cured.

STEP 1:

 Wet Sanding: The sandpaper shall be completely saturated with water during this process.  Attach the sandpaper to the sanding block (RJL100410 or RJL100501). The plastic pail (RJL100431) shall be close by filled with water for convenience.  Starting with 220A-grit sandpaper slowly graduating to 320A-grit, then 400A-grit sandpaper finishing the process with 600a-grit sandpaper.  Long strokes back and forth are recommended for best results.

 After completing the sanding process thoroughly rinse the area with fresh water.  Completely dry area before proceeding.

  

STEP 2:

 Compounding:  The fine scratches left from the wet sanding process shall now be removed using a machine buffer (2800 R.P.M. maximum), the heavy duty compound (RJL100432) and a 1” pile buff pad (RJL100098).  It is important to buff the entire area, bringing this area to a reflective sheen.  As the buff pads loads with compound and becomes less responsive, the buff pad cleaning spur (RJL100097) will remove the old compound to reveal a clean pad.

 

STEP 3:

 Sealing:  Using a machine buffer (2800 R.P.M. maximum), the sealer glaze (RJL100277) and a 1 ½ inch pile buff pad, buff the compounded area to a

hi-gloss, reflective finish.  Each application of new sealer glaze shall be buffed in opposite directions occasionally cleaning buff pad with spur tool (RJL100097).

  

STEP 4:

 Waxing:  Apply paste wax using a circular, overlapping motion.  The area being waxed should appear to be moist or wet to assure good coverage.  Remove wax by hand with a clean dry cloth or towel (RJL100014).  Wax should dry thoroughly before removal.
