These compounds are specifically formulated for soft metals, including copper, aluminium, brass, and other similar alloys.
For the best results, a three-stage process using Coarse, Medium, and Fine compounds is recommended. However, you can use individual compounds based on the desired finish and the current condition of the metal.
The Fine Compound is most effective when used with softer, flexible, or 'floppy' buffing wheels for the final finishing stage to achieve a high-gloss shine.
Brush the buffing wheel vigorously with a wire brush or use a dedicated wheel cleaner to remove residue from the previous compound before applying the next one. Allow the wheel to dry.
No, these compounds are designed for polishing bare metals and are not intended for use on painted surfaces.
Apply a small amount to the wheel. The compound should transfer and create a thin, even layer. Too much can create excessive mess and reduce effectiveness.
Ensure you are using the correct compound for the stage (Coarse for initial cutting). Check if the polishing wheel is appropriate and clean. Increase tool speed slightly if safe to do so.
This may indicate insufficient compound application or uneven pressure. Ensure the compound is evenly distributed on the wheel and maintain consistent pressure during polishing. Clean the wheel and reapply compound if necessary.
This can happen with prolonged storage. Try adding a tiny amount of water or polishing lubricant to rehydrate the compound if its consistency is compromised. Ensure it's stored correctly in the future.
Setup: Apply a small amount of the chosen compound directly to your polishing wheel or buffing pad. Ensure the wheel is clean and dry before application. Start the polishing tool at a moderate speed.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use on copper, aluminium, brass, and other soft metals. It is recommended for use with rotary polishing tools and appropriate buffing wheels (firm wheels for coarse/medium, softer/floppy wheels for fine).
Care: Store compounds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, clean your buffing wheels thoroughly to prevent cross-contamination between compounds. Allow wheels to dry completely before storing.
