Expert Notes

The ShineMate EX603 Mini Dual Action Polisher is made for correcting tight and awkward areas. Polish tight areas on a clean, dry panel: spread the polish at low speed, then work in short, slow passes, checking the heat as you go. Disconnect the power before changing pads and keep it out of reach of children. The Drivers HQ stocks a wider range of ShineMate car care products. Clean the small pads often, since they clog faster than large ones.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Bumpers
  • Door pillars
  • Mirror housings
  • Spoilers
  • Around badges
  • Headlights

Caution: Small pads build heat quickly, so keep them flat and moving, check the panel temperature often, and switch it off and disconnect the power before changing pads. Keep it out of reach of children.

How To Use

Polishing

  1. Wash, decontaminate and dry the car first.
  2. Fit a clean small pad centred on the backing plate.
  3. Prime the pad with a little polish and spread it at low speed.
  4. Work the tight area with slow, short passes, then wipe off and check.

Afterwards

  1. Switch it off and disconnect the power.
  2. Remove and clean the pad.
  3. Blow dust from the vents.
  4. Store it dry, in its case if it has one.

Top Tip: Checking the panel with the back of your hand between passes stops a small pad overheating an edge.
