HB BODY polishing compound HB BODY 805-super cut should always be used with HB-Pad (020.06.0700.1) polishing pad (White) for best results. If the compound becomes dry during use then a small spray of water will keep it lubricated. Always clean the polishing pad after use avoiding any build up of polish on the pad. This will ensure that dry or crusted residue cannot damage the paint work. You can use water to cool down the surface during polishing.
