2. Close Hot and Cold water valves
3. Remove top cover of the machine by taking out 3 screws in the top back. Slide top back and remove.

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
