Surfaces that have an old film of wax or polish, or that have not been polished or waxed for an extended period of time, may require a second application. This is especially true on oxidized surfaces. Heavily oxidized surfaces should be cleaned with a commercial paste or liquid cleaner before polishing or waxing. _ ARNING: Check polishing bonnets before each use. Make sure they are clean and free from any loose particles or foreign objects that may be embedded in the bonnet. Failure to do so could cause these particles or objects to be thrown from the tool resulting in possible serious injury. 10
