Dual Action Polisher User’s Guide
Always remove the power supply plug from the socket before carrying out any work
on the machine. The cool air openings in the motor casing must always be kept
clean and unobstructed to ensure air circulation. With the exception of carbon brush
replacement (see below), all maintenance and repair work which requires the motor
casing to be opened may only be carried out by an authorized service center. (Please
refer to warranty on page 3.) Keep unit clean and dry. Wipe down and clean after
each use. Do not submerse in water, or get wet. For best results always start with
clean dry pads. See page 7 for pad cleaning directions.

BUFFING PAD CARE
HOW DO I CLEAN
MY BUFFING PADS?
Visit www.shurhold.com/cleanpads for the latest in how-to
videos including the proper cleaning and care of buffing pads.
SAFETY & HANDLING: While this product is environmentally friendly and bio-degradable, please follow
these warnings. This is a concentrated citrus cleaner and may irritate your skin with prolonged exposure.
Due to its powerful cleaning properties, wear old clothes while using. Always wear protective gloves
and safety glasses. Do not mix with bleach or any other concentrated chemical cleaners. Keep unused
powder in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets.
Serious Pad Cleaner
Great for Cleaning and
Rejuvenating Buffing Pads
30803 - 12 oz. Serious Pad Cleaner
Serious Pad Cleaner is scientifically
formulated powdered cleaner for rejuvenating
buffing pads. Mixed with water this cleaner
dissolves compounds and waxes from wool,
foam and blended buffing pads cleaning
them to be used over and over. Also great for
microfiber and cotton bonnets.
Nothing is worse than getting ready to start a job with your Polisher and realizing
your pads are all dirty and gunked up from the previous application. It is very
important to always start a waxing or buffing job with a fresh set of pads. This does
not mean a new set, but rather pads that are in clean and good condition.
Dirty pads will work against you in 2 ways. First, if they are already loaded with wax
or compound they will not work efficiently, greatly increasing the time you will need
for buffing. Second, a dirty pad, one that may have been stored poorly or has grime
embedded in it can really damage your finish by grinding that dirt into the surface.
STEP 1
In a plastic container, mix 1 scoop (included) of Serious Pad Cleaner or 1 tbsp. per 1
gallon (3.78 Liters) of warm water and stir thoroughly. (Mix only what is needed for
application and use within 7 days of mixing or more often with heavy use.)
STEP 2
Soak items to be cleaned for up to 15 minutes. Agitate and brush lightly. Thoroughly
rinse area with clean water. For extremely soiled area, let solution soak in longer.
STEP 3
Wash your pads immediately for easiest cleaning. Serious Pad Cleaner will remove
caked on and saturated compounds and waxes from your pads. Let pads air dry
completely prior to using again. For storing pads in between use, you should use a
clear plastic baggie.

WAXING & POLISHING
WAXING &
POLISHING
Visit www.shurhold.com/waxing for the latest in how-to videos
including the proper technique for waxing and polishing.
Prior to the use of your Shurhold Dual Action Polisher, be sure your boat, car or other
desired surface is clean and dry. Avoid using your polisher on a dirty surface, it may
cause damage, such as scratches or swirls, to the paint or gel coat.
Shurhold recommends that a polymer based wax alternative, such as Shurhold’s Pro
Polish, be used for the most significant improvement in the surface’s appearance. Pro
Polish is a paint and fiberglass/gel coat cleaner, sealant and polish with UV inhibitors
that produces an ultra high gloss finish in one easy step. Formulated with cosmetic
grade ingredients, it contains no fillers or talc, protecting your finish against sun, salt,
acid rain and other harsh environmental elements.
For best results, use Shurhold’s Pro Polish, Pro Polish Pad and Microfiber Bonnet and
follow these steps:
STEP 1
Start with a clean, dry Shurhold Pro Polish pad.
STEP 2
Apply Pro Polish to the pad in a ring pattern, as
shown in Figure A.
STEP 3
With the switch in the off position, dab the pad
against a 2 foot square area to distribute the polish.

Pro Polish is a surface cleaner,

inhibitors that produces an ultra
high gloss finish in one easy step. Better than
a wax, Pro Polish is formulated with cosmetic
grade ingredients and contains no fillers or talc,
protecting your finish against sun, salt, acid rain
and other harsh environmental elements.
