Surface Correction Following Decontam./Neutralization

1. Visually inspect paint surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles and water spots.

NOTE
ACID RAIN DISCOLORING OR ETCHING WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES DEPENDENT ON DEPTH OF DAMAGE;

POLISHING, BUFFING, COLOR SANDING, OR IN EXTREME CASES, REFINISHING.

2. Do Not Intermix Buffing Products. Use only one manufacturer's products.

3. Always follow the manufacturer's product usage sequence. Use the appropriate recommended pad at recommended buffing speeds as specified by the product manufacturer.

NOTE
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO AFFECT A REPAIR BY BUFFING, POLISHING, OR COLOR SANDING, DO NOT REMOVE AN EXCESS OF 0.3 MIL OF PAINT FILM OR REFINISHING WILL BE REQUIRED. USE OF AN ELECTRONIC MIL GAUGE (ROTUNDA 164-R4025) IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO INSURE CONTROL OF PAINT FILM REMOVAL.

4. Use a dual action sander with a Velcro backing plate and a foam pad to fine polish and remove any swirls created by a rotary buffer or pad.

5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1 to 1 ratio) to clean the buffed areas and to verify removal of scratches and swirls before application of the final polish.
