Troubleshooting
Bonnet is not attaching securely
Ensure the GRIP® backing plate on your polisher is clean and free of debris. Check that the bonnet's hook-and-loop material is also clean and undamaged.
Reduced polishing effectiveness
The wool fibers may be clogged with product or debris. Clean the bonnet thoroughly and ensure it is dry before use. Check if the compound or polish being used is appropriate for wool bonnets.
Excessive heat generated during use
You may be applying too much pressure or exceeding the recommended speed. Reduce pressure and ensure you stay below 2,500 rpm. Move the polisher consistently across the surface.
Bonnet is fraying or showing excessive wear
Inspect the bonnet for damage. If significant wear is present, it may be time to replace it to avoid marring the paintwork. Ensure you are not using it on excessively dirty surfaces which can abrade the wool.
