	Grind and Polish
1	Wash the vehicle	Car Wash	*BR00.45-Z-1002-04A
2	Grind damaged area in paint with fine abrasive paper	The grain size must be at least 2500, a grain size between 3000 and 5000 is better.
3	Place polishing sponge exactly in the center on the polishing pad	Commercially available devices/tools  Polishing machine
4	Before starting the first polishing process, slightly spray polishing sponge with deionized water
5	Thoroughly shake polish prior to using it and apply a small amount of polish to the paint or the polishing sponge	Polish, silicone-free 5 I, DB supply specification 7545.00	*BR00.45-Z-1013-04A
	Polish 500 ml		*BR00.45-Z-1036-04A
	MB Nano polish		*BR00.45-Z-1062-04A
6	Polish the surface to be treated for at least 10s at the lowest rotational speed, approx. 800 rpm (1st stage) with light pressure in cross-coat at damaged area	Make uniform movements with the polishing machine and comply with the polishing time at a damaged area. Otherwise visible irregularities are formed in the paint surface. On larger areas, make sure that one partial area (approx. 1/4 m) is always polished out at a time. Because the polish is ground while polishing, at the start a more abrasive effect is observed and the intensive gloss only appears at the end.
7	Polish the surface to be treated for a maximum of 30s at increased rotational speed, approx. 1300 rpm (3rd stage) to 1600 rpm (4th stage) at low pressure in cross-coat at damaged area	Make uniform movements with the polishing machine and do not exceed the polishing time at a damaged area. Otherwise visible irregularities are formed in the paint surface. On larger areas, make sure that one partial area (approx. 1/4 m) is always polished out at a time. Because the polish is ground while polishing, at the start a more abrasive effect is observed and the intensive gloss only appears at the end.
8	Spray on deionized water and remove polish residues with a tack rag	Commercially available device/tools  Tack rag
9	Seal polishing area with gloss preservation agent	Gloss preservation, 500 ml, DB supply specification 7551.10	*BR00.45-Z-1014-04A
