To use these STINGER™ Hybrid Three - Step Granite and Engineered Stone Polishing Pads, start by choosing the appropriate step for your polishing needs. Place the pad on your polishing machine and turn it on. Move the machine steadily across the surface of the granite or engineered stone. Make sure to keep the machine moving to avoid uneven polishing. When you're done with one step, move on to the next. For maintenance, clean the pads after each use with water to remove any debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent damage. Always follow the safety instructions of your polishing machine when using these pads.
