Polishing Stainless


I am constantly asked about polishing and how do I acheive the mirror finish, so I have found some video, and added some links of where to get the products needed.

I like to wet sand the stainless to keep the swirls down it also beads the material away from the surface I need to work and not chasing uneven scratches and also different buffing wheels {Mops as popeye calls them }helps during the buffing stage along with proper RPM to achieve good contact and take down works wonders and keeps from fighting the desire your looking for then I finish my stuff off with a product called Blue magic .

polishing different alloys need to be taken in from stainless to alum and even gold can reduce the strength and even warp the material

by all means ware a dust mask:thumbup: ,some buffing compounds are very toxic .... and should be done in a open ventilated area so this year I haven't gotten around to clean up my buggys:(
