- To prevent contamination and preserve the outline, buff within the marked area thoroughly and evenly with a low speed buffing tool using a fine wire brush or gritted rasp.
- Buff to a smooth velvet surface (RMA number 1 or number 2 buffed texture).
- Use caution not to gouge the inner liner or expose casing fabric.
- Remove any buffing dust with a vacuum cleaner.
- Consult your repair material supplier for a proper buffing tool.
