Read Before Use

Mini Polish Box is a surface care and restoration product. Step 3 Paste helps reduce the appearance of minor defects by performing controlled abrasion on the surface.

Therefore:

Do not use more product than necessary.
Do not apply excessive pressure to the surface.
Do not work on the same spot for a long time.
Do not perform the application on hot surfaces.
Do not apply under direct sunlight.
Always perform a small test on every surface first.

Follow this sequence before application:

Clean the surface.
Perform a test on a small and inconspicuous area.
Check the result.
If the surface is suitable, proceed to the visible area.

How to Determine Scratch Depth

It is important to check the depth of the scratch or surface defect before starting the application.

Level 1 – Superficial Mark

The scratch is slightly visible, but no significant depth is felt on the surface.

Recommended application:

Clean → Step 3 Paste → Clean → Step 4 Wax → Polish

Level 2 – Distinct Surface Scratch

The scratch is more distinct, but the paint or surface coating has not been completely removed.

Recommended application:

Controlled pre-preparation → Step 3 Paste → Clean → Step 4 Wax → Polish

If sandpaper is required, ensure the surface is suitable for it.

Level 3 – Deep Scratch

The scratch is very deep, the paint or coating is completely removed, or the underlying surface is visible.

In this case, the Mini Polish Box paste and wax application cannot fully repair the scratch. Professional paint, filler, or part repair may be required.

Level 4 – Physical Damage

Areas with cracks, fractures, dents, peeling, or material loss cannot be repaired with paste and wax.

In such cases, mechanical or professional surface repair should be performed first.

When to Use Sandpaper

Sandpaper is the piece in the kit that requires the most careful use. Sandpaper is not required for every scratch.

Sandpaper should only be used if:

The surface is suitable,
The damage is local and manageable,
A test has been performed on a small area,
The user is experienced in the application

When using sandpaper:

Do not apply too much pressure.
Do not work on the same spot for a long time.
Do not process sound surfaces unnecessarily.
Always apply Step 3 Paste after the process.
Then finish the surface with Step 4 Wax.

Application sequence:

Sandpaper → Paste → Clean → Wax → Polish

The technical specifications and suitability of the sandpaper for the surface should be evaluated in accordance with the product packaging or technical information.

Step 3 – Paste Application

Surface Correction and Paste Stage

Clean the surface to be applied completely.
Ensure the surface is dry and cool.
Apply a small amount of Step 3 Paste to the application sponge.
Apply the product to a small area first.
Work the surface with controlled and balanced movements.
Do not apply excessive pressure.
Clean the paste residue with a microfiber cloth.
Check the surface from different angles.

The application can be repeated in a controlled manner if necessary.

Caution: Applying too much paste to the same spot can lead to undesirable results, especially on thin paint or delicate coatings.

Step 4 – Wax Application

Polishing and Finishing Stage

After the paste application, the surface is cleaned and Step 4 Wax is applied.

Apply a small amount of Step 4 Wax to a clean application sponge.
Apply the product to the surface in a thin and even layer.
Distribute the product homogeneously over the surface.
Follow the condition of the product on the surface according to the product instructions.
Polish the surface with a clean microfiber cloth.
Check the surface from different angles.

The primary purpose of the wax is not to abrade scratches; it is to help polish, finish, and protect the surface.

Ensure the device is turned off, unplugged, and the surface is completely cold before application.

Furniture and Painted Wood Application

Mini Polish Box can be used for properly painted or varnished wood surfaces, not for raw wood.

Example application:

Small test area → Step 3 Paste → Clean → Step 4 Wax → Polish

The product should not be used on raw, porous, or absorbent wood surfaces. On such surfaces, the product may be absorbed and create unexpected appearance differences.

Metal Surface Application

Mini Polish Box can be used on metal surfaces with paint or a product-compatible coating.

Example application areas:

Metal cabinets
Painted table legs
Painted garden furniture
Suitable decorative metal objects
Painted metal boxes

Not every metal surface is the same. A small test must be performed before application on raw, oxidized, specially coated, or delicate metal surfaces.

Plastic Surface Application

Particular caution should be exercised on plastic surfaces. The product should only be used on hard, painted, and product-compatible plastic surfaces after testing.

Results on painted automotive plastics may vary depending on the paint and coating structure of the surface.

Do Not Use on the Following Plastic Surfaces

Soft plastic
Rubber
Tires
Textured delicate plastic
Transparent delicate plastic
Screens and instrument panels
Plastics not recommended for polishing by the manufacturer

Local Scratch Application

One of the most suitable areas for using the Mini Polish Box is for small and local surface damage.

For example, for a minor scratch around the door handle:

Clean the area.
Dry the surface.
Check the depth of the scratch.
Perform a test on an inconspicuous area.
Perform the appropriate pre-preparation if necessary.
Apply Step 3 Paste.
Clean the paste residue with a microfiber cloth.
Apply Step 4 Wax.
Polish with a clean microfiber cloth.
Check the result from different angles.

Large Surface Application

Working in small sections instead of applying the product to the entire surface at once ensures a more controlled result on large surfaces.

For example, for a car door:

Section 1 → Section 2 → Section 3 → Section 4

You can apply it by dividing it into parts.

This method makes it easier to:

Control product consumption,
Follow the application result,
Notice differences that may occur on the surface early,
Reduce the risk of faulty application

facilitates.

Manual Application

Mini Polish Box can be used manually, especially for local applications.

The basic principle in manual application:

Less product + controlled movement + low pressure + frequent check

Using more product does not always mean better results. Use the product in small amounts and repeat the application if necessary.

Application with Polishing Machine

Professional users with appropriate polishing equipment can apply the product if it is compatible with machine use.

Machine use can generate higher cutting and heat compared to manual application. Therefore:

Start at low speed.
Do not apply excessive pressure.
Do not work on the same spot for a long time.
Check surface temperature frequently.
Be extra careful with plastics, thin paint, and delicate coatings.
Perform a test on a small and inconspicuous area first.

If you do not have machine experience, it is recommended to apply the product manually.

Common Mistakes

Applying paste to a dirty surface

The presence of sand, dust, or dirt on the surface can cause new scratches.

Using more product than necessary

Using excess product does not guarantee better results. Start with a small amount of product.

Applying excessive pressure

Excessive pressure can increase the risk of damaging the paint or coating.

Using sandpaper unnecessarily

Sandpaper removes material from the surface. Therefore, it should only be used when necessary and if the surface is suitable.

Expecting total results from deep scratches

Paste and wax do not repair deep physical damage or paint loss.

Applying to every plastic surface

Plastic types and coatings differ. A test must be performed before application.

Using on raw wood

The product can penetrate porous and absorbent surfaces. It should not be used on raw wood.

Using the same sponge and cloth uncontrollably

Use separate sponges and clean cloths if possible to prevent paste residues from being carried into the Wax stage.

Applying on a hot surface

A hot surface can cause the product to dry faster than expected and lead to application marks.
