What is Polishing?
Polishing sometimes known, as finishing or buffing is the process of removing scratches and abrasions from a surface and creating the desired brightness of finish on that surface.
Polishing, like using sand paper, consists of procedures each of which is less abrasive than the previous. Mops are mounted on a buffing machine, a household electric drill or pneumatic drill. All should be used at relatively low speeds, 4000 rpm max. Compounds are then applied to the mop.
It is the particular combination of mop and compound which gives the desired cut / colouring action.
For polishing soft metals (copper and brass) there are two processes, which must be followed in sequence.
Process 1-White stitch mop with Green compound.
Process 2- Unstitched G Quality mop with Blue compound.
For polishing harder metals (Aluminium, Steel, iron and stainless steel) there are three processes, which must be followed in sequence.
Process 1- Sisal mop with Grey compound.
Process 2- White stitch mop with Green compound.
Process 3- Unstitched G Quality mop with Blue compound.
Use the lime powder to remove any residue af
