If using a grinder, anchor the rake with your feet and approach with the grinder cautiously. \u003cstrong\u003eWhy Rake?\u003c\/strong\u003e Over time, buffing compound accumulates on the wheel, hardening and occasionally burning. This buildup reduces wheel efficiency and makes for a rougher polish. When you see a drop in metal dust while buffing, it's time to rake and reapply your polishing compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Machines for These Buffing Wheels:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
