Tool maintenance

Maintenance that keeps the warranty

What the manufacturer asks so the polishers last: clean air intakes, a backing plate in good condition and batteries stored properly.

Pads and wool

Clean the pad after every panel with the AirJet or the Claw, with the machine running slowly; change pad when it saturates. At the end of the day wash in warm water, squeeze without twisting and dry hook-and-loop side up, away from the sun.

Compounds and residue

Shake compounds before use and close the bottle well. Before protecting, remove the compound oils with Reveal and inspect with the LL200: what you cannot see there shows up in the sun.

Polishers and batteries

Blow out the air intakes at the end of the day, check the hook-and-loop and the rim of the PrecisionPro plate every three months and store the machines hanging. iBrid batteries are stored half charged, away from heat.

Indicative intervals for normal professional use. Under heavy use, shorten them.
