Detail-mop access
Cylinder, dome and goblet cotton mops fit compatible drills and help reach curved, interior and irregular surfaces.

Suggested Work Sequence
- Clean and assess the surface, then choose the least aggressive preparation method that will remove the defect.
- Progress through the abrasive grades as required, removing the previous scratch pattern at each stage.
- Select Fastcut or Bright Cut DX for stronger cutting, or Tripoli for suitable soft metals.
- Use SS Finish or Multishine to refine and brighten, then Green Chrome for a high-brightness final stage.
- Use a separate shaped mop for each compound when polishing detailed areas.
- Remove residue with Vienna Lime and finish by hand with Liquid Reflection or Blue Sapphire.
Important: Test first, keep compounds separate and wear suitable eye, respiratory and hand protection.
