Step-by-Step Guide to Buffing and Polishing

Maintaining the beauty of your Glassskinz® louvers involves a few simple steps to keep them looking their best. Here is a guide to help you buff and polish your louvers effectively:

1. Gather Your Tools and Materials:
- Soft microfiber cloths
- High-quality car polish
- Buffing pad or machine buffer
- Spray bottle with water

2. Preparation:
Begin by cleaning the louvers thoroughly with water and mild soap. Rinse them well to remove any dust or debris.

3. Applying the Polish: Meguires Green 100
Place a small amount of car polish on the buffing pad. Spread it evenly across the louvers’ surface using gentle, circular motions.

4. Buffing:
If you are using a machine buffer, set it to a low-speed setting. Gently move the buffer across the louvers, ensuring all areas are covered. For manual buffing, apply even pressure with the cloth and move in small circles.

5. Checking Your Work:
After buffing, wipe down the louvers with a clean microfiber cloth. Inspect the surface to ensure there are no streaks or missed spots.

6. Polishing: Meguires Ultimate Polish
Once all areas are buffed, use a separate cloth to apply a finishing layer of polish. This enhances the shine and adds an extra layer of protection.

7. Finish off with our D2BD Brazilian Carnuba Wax!

8. NOTE: Reminder , do not use ceramic, graphene, triphene, silicone or any other Nano type products on your Glassskinz® louvers as they will seep under and release the tape. We use only Carnuba wax at the shop on your Glassskinz® prior to shipment.

- Use a car cover when the vehicle is parked for extended periods, especially in harsh weather conditions.
- Apply a UV-protective carnuba wax every few months to prevent fading due to sun exposure.
