FAQs

What materials can I use this set on?

This set is suitable for various metals, including brass, aluminum, stainless steel, gold, and silver.

What is the purpose of the Tripoli compound?

The Tripoli compound is used for removing surface imperfections on non-ferrous metals.

What is the difference between the white and red compounds?

The white compound is for achieving a high-shine finish on all metals, while the red (Jewellers') compound is specifically for fine polishing of precious metals.

Do I need any special equipment to use this set?

Yes, you will need buffing wheels and a buffing machine.

How do I maintain the buffing wheels?

Keep the wheels clean and free of residue. Avoid mixing compounds on the same wheel.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear eye protection, gloves, and a dust mask. Work in a well-ventilated area.

How do I apply the compound?

Apply the compound to the moving buffing wheel, not directly to the metal. Use light pressure.

Troubleshooting

Compound not removing scratches.

Ensure you are using the correct compound for the material and the severity of the scratches. Increase pressure slightly, and/or use a coarser grade buffing wheel.

Streaks or swirls appear on the polished surface.

Reduce the pressure, and ensure the buffing wheel is clean. Avoid staying in one area for too long.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Wheel Selection: Choose the appropriate buffing wheel for the compound and the material being polished (e.g., a stitched wheel for coarser compounds, a loose wheel for finer compounds).
