Ice Creme M

Not for use on eyeglasses, bare LCD’s or anodized surfaces. Shake the bottles thoroughly before and during use.

Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be polished with a clean Optex cloth. When soiled, the included Optex cloths can be
hand washed with liquid soap. Rinse well and squeeze out excess water - the cloths can be used while damp. Cleaning the
cloths immediately when finished using them is much easier than cleaning once the compounds have dried.

Use care when working around iPod click wheels - avoid applying excessive pressure to this mechanism. Polishing compound
can be removed from joints and crevices using a strip of paper to probe and clean these areas. A q-tip style applicator
works well for polishing / cleaning within tight spots, and around iPod click wheels. A water-dampened Optex cloth works
well for wiping down and removing compound from seams and crevices.

1. Select a clean, well-lit work area and use a soft cloth or towel to protect the polished parts and work surface

Place plastic items to be polished face up on the protected work surface. Fold the Optex polishing cloth in eighths

(fold in half 3 times) and rotate often to reveal a clean section throughout step 2.

2. Deep Scratch / Abrasion removal:

Apply a pea-sized amount of the A compound to the surface to be polished. Using moderate pressure, polish using

back and forth strokes across the obvious scratches and/or surface abrasions until the compound evaporates. Avoid
forcing the compound into openings or crevices on the item being polished. A q-tip style applicator works well for
polishing in tight spots, and around iPod click wheels.

Repeat applications of the

scratching requires approximately 20-60 minutes of polishing with A. An iBook typically requires 1-3 hours. Each
application and mechanical polish with A removes more damage. Continue until surface is smooth, and only very light
swirl marks remain. If any scratches or defects remain, continue polishing until they are removed.

3. Restoring surface gloss - removing light swirl marks:

Once the significant defects have been removed, rotate to a clean section of a polishing cloth and give the entire

surface 2-3 applications / light-pressure polishings with A - keep using the same section of the cloth so that a
significant build-up of the compound coats a section of the cloth - this is very important as the waxy coating of the A
compound is used to remove fine swirl marks on softer plastics.

3A. For Polycarbonate surfaces: iPod nano and 5th generation (video), or any surface where hard to remove faint

swirling remains after polishing. The A polish starts as an abrasive, and then quickly breaks down to form a
polishing ‘rouge’ which will coat the polishing cloth. This rouge will lap the surface and remove faint swirl
marks. Ensure that a fair amount of rouge has been deposited on the cloth so that you’re polishing with it. Work
quickly and do not allow the compound to dry on the cloth - if compound dries, repeat step 3.

A compound until all significant scratches and surface defects are gone. Typical iPod

Experiment by varying your pressure with the rouge-impregnated cloth - examine the surface periodically to

see what pressure and style works best. 1-2 minutes of light polishing with the rouge covered cloth should
be sufficient to eliminate light swirling. If necessary, apply a very small amount of A to re-wet the surface.
Position yourself or your light source so that the surface being polished is adequately illuminated.

Finally, briskly buff the surface with a water-dampened Optex cloth for 1-2 min. to mirror gloss the surface.

3B. For Acrylic surfaces: iPod: 1st - 4th generation, most cell phones, PDA screens, lamp bezels, watch crystals, etc.

If unable to achieve a high-gloss finish with step 3A, shake and dispense a drop of B onto the surface and polish

Bright metal:

Lightly Damaged: To remove light scratching, staining and marking, polish using the A Compound using firm back and forth

pressure - finish by polishing in circular motions using light pressure - buff with a clean, dry cloth.

Severe Damaged: PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that only severe damage - scratches, abrasions, etc. be repaired as

outlined below. Faint scratching of the bright iPod back pans occurs very easily - trying to chase light scratches away
numerous times using these methods will result in accelerated thinning of the bright plating. Faint swirling may remain
after removing damaged areas, but the overall appearance will be significantly improved. If faint swirling is unacceptable
to you, please stop and contact RadTech to arrange to return the kit - email: [e-mail] to arrange a return. The
blue refinishing pad is used for resurfacing damaged areas of plated metal. This pad should never be sharply creased, and
should be washed when soiled using warm water and liquid soap. Use your fingers to scrub the surface with liquid soap

- rinse well and pat off excess water with a clean, absorbent towel. Allow the pad to dry after washing and before use.
The pad will easily refinish several iPods.

Begin by grasping the pad so that your index finger is on the printed side, at a corner. Lightly rub the rough side of the
pad across deep scratches and abrasions. Work one scratch or abrasion at a time - continue lightly rubbing until the
blemish is eliminated, and only faint abrasive lines remain. 10-20 minutes is typical working time for a 3 cm scratch. Once
the damaged areas have been polished away, place the pad on a flat surface, like a tabletop, non-printed side up.
Holding the iPod by the sides, rub the metal back pan across the pad surface using moderate to firm pressure. Check the
appearance every 30 strokes - continue rubbing across the pad until an even sheen is achieved on the metal surface. Rock
the iPod a few degrees when rubbing to ensure edge to edge polishing as some iPod back pans are slightly convex. Edges
are polished by rotating the iPod so the edge to be polished is down against the pad. Slide the iPods edge lengthwise
across the pad until damage is removed.

with light pressure in circular motions. After 2 applications, visually check the surface - repeat as needed.

Once an even sheen is achieved, rub the iPod on the pad using a circular motion - start with firm pressure, and gradually
lighten up - visually inspect the surface frequently to verify your progress. Once the surface looks good (the longer
you polish, the better the appearance will become) clean the back and apply a pea-sized amount of the A compound directly
to the bright surface - polish the entire back pan with a clean cloth using circular motions. Wipe clean and visually
inspect periodically until the desired surface finish is obtained. Clean all cloths immediately when finished.
