The first step is to pair our red airway buffing wheel without Black Magic Compound. The second step involves using a Pink buffing wheel with our Yellow Deluxe Compound.

For a lite tarnish, use a scuff pad to break the surface. For a heavier tarnish or oxidized surface, soft sanding with a 600 or 800 grit will smooth this surface out and get rid of any imperfections. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor polishing we recommend a Yellow Airway buffing wheel and a yellow deluxe compound bar as your first polishing step. For your second step we recommend a pink airway buffing wheel paired with our purple high luster compound bar. As far as speed when polishing we recommend 2200 to 2600 RPM. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHOW TO POLISH ALUMINUM WITH A LARGE-DIAMETER AIRWAY BUFF?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese wheels are typically mounted on a large industrial buffing lathe. The most popular buffing wheel for these are the orange and yellow. We recommend pairing the orange airway with the tripoli bar for your first \"cut\" step on aluminum, then going to the yellow wheel paired with the green rouge for your mirror shine. For stainless steel, more aggressive products are required. For stainless we recommend pairing our RED airway and our black stainless cutting bar. For the second step we recommend our pink airway with our yellow OR green buffing brick. For an even brighter shine on both you can pair a domet flannel airway and a purple finishing bar for a crazy luster! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Renegade Products
