POLISHING RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Our recommendations and suggestions on Buffing to obtain the best results possible:
- Use the right compound for the metal that you are trying to polish
- It may be needed to go through 2 or 3 steps, in polishing to get the optimum result you are looking to achieve.
- Make sure that the parts that are being polished are smooth and clean, use the appropriate abrasive to remove lines and scratches.
- Avoid using different compounds with the same buff, if you have to then make sure to clean and remove any hardened compound residue on the surface edge with a buff rake.
- Segregate your buffs for the various metals, Gold, Silver, Brass … try not to use the same buff for all metals. If you have to then make sure buffs are cleaned (dressed) with a buff rake.
- A clean buffing wheel edge is important.
- Allow the buff and compound to perform the work they were made and formulated for, excessive force or pressure will hurt the process.
- Whenever you are working with Platinum never use a buff that was used for another type of metal.
WORK SAFE! Working with rotary motors and wheels can be dangerous if proper safety procedures are not followed.
PROTECTION - Protect yourself, your fingers and hands, your face and eyes and use respirators.
