Default I need help with Matrix Micro coating terminology

I bought the prochoice matrix micro coating polish

I read the procedure and I have English language problems. English is not my 1st language.

I read in the instructions

step 3
Dispense a dime size amount of (PrepClean I) onto a moisten microfiber wash mitt and then distribute cleaner by squeezing the cloth into a ball.
I checked the dictionary, and the mitt translation is a baseball glove.

There is a glove in the kit, but I thought a mitt means cloth

then he says squeezing the cloth into a ball. What ball? could he meant a bowl

Many thanks, and I appreciate any help

Can you tell me the names of the items in the picture, the dictionary is a little confusing

Other than "size" should be "sized" and "moisten" should be "moistened", it comes out OK to me. A dime is a very thin coin about 1.7 cm in diameter.

You moisten the microfiber wash glove and then apply a 1.7 cm diameter bit of the liquid. Then you distribute the liquid by sqeezing the microfiber glove into the shape of a sphere (ball).

From the pictures: (1) microfiber towel, (2) rubber glove, (3) cloth rag, (4) paper towels, (5) microfiber mitt, (6)(7)(8) microfiber pads. That my best guess from the photos.

5- wash mitt
1- microfiber towel
2- gloves
3- some sort of plastic bag
4- napkins
6- some sort of scrubbing pad
7- applicator pad
8- looks the same as 6, maybe different abrasiveness?

Actually, I should have used the word mitt instead of glove. Typically, gloves (a glove) has coverings for individual fingers and mittens (a mitt) has one place for all fingers (or at least all but the thumb). I guess they don't use mittens much in Saudi Arabia.

Bob

many thanks

that was a great help

the ball confused me, but clear now.

If he said squeeze it into a lump, it would have been clear.

I was looking for a ball in the kit, and no wounder I could not find one.
