I say the first grit gets it smooth. The rest of the grits make it polishable. No perfect answer as every wheel is different. But try 400. If it’s not deep enough go deeper until you find the right grit then work back up to 600 to make it polishable.

Hi Evan i just purchased the makita 7021.That’s a 6600rpm grinder I noticed that the buffing wheels that I’ve come across are only rated for 3200-3400 depending on the manufacturer.Are you using buffing wheels that are rated for a higher speed if so where can I find them?

I've been using a yellow buff to cut so do I need to use a orange buff to cut.Also I've been using a green bar to color so do I have it backwards.And what rpm do I n need to use for my grinder

That's not my 3000 rpm variable rpm Makita polisher... I enjoy your willingness to show your technique. I am helping my dad next week polish up his 1999 T2000 with 1.3 million miles. Hope I get in the ball park. Beautiful work.

hey evan polished my first wheel today definitely need some practice but i have a question. Why am i leaving lots of black residue after i polish i think i was using too much compound but not sure

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

4 ай бұрын

Very loaded question. Could be too much rouge. Or too little rouge.Or too hot in the room. Or too cold in the room. Or too much pitting causing the rouge to burn into the pits and pull out of the buff. Would be very difficult to know without seeing what you are working on and how you are polishing it. I am sorry I can't be more help on this issue without those parameters.

Awesome job. My question is once finished polishing what kind of towel do you use to wipe it down

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

Жыл бұрын

Once I cut and color I don't touch it with anything as anything you touch it with while it is warm and soft it will scratch. I don't wanna scratch what I am doing. If I have to remove some light compound then I will use a little whiting powder and a cotton Terry towel on aluminum or microfiber on stainless.

Hey Evan do you put any like ceramic coating or anything on the rims when you are done? Not sure if that helps them stay polished longer or nah ?

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

10 ай бұрын

I don't. When you have a good quality compound it is not needed.

No cleanup between compounds so there’s no-cross contamination? I also want to seal the shiny. Clearcoat or some kind of coating

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

3 ай бұрын

If you use compounds that work well with each other there is no cross contamination. Clear coat on aluminum is a bad idea. Aluminum is like a sponge and it needs to breathe. If you coat it it will off gas underneath and leave it foggy/hazy. Rouge has the best sealant in it. A simple quality hand polish like time2shine aluminum polish will maintain the shine easily and for a long time.

If I use a red buff first with brown is that going to have better cutting results? Then follow with the normal steps orange/brown yellow/green

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

4 жыл бұрын

It can on rough stuff but on nicer stuff going too aggressive can make more work.

I recently just started buffing and polishing for my new job. And every time I try to buff a wheel, I get rouge everywhere. How do I know when to put more on the wheel, how do I know how much pressure to apply, and how do I keep from getting the rouge everywhere?

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

7 ай бұрын

Sounds to me like the items may be too rough to just polish and may require sanding. I am not sure without seeing it. But When to apply and how much to apply is the beauty of the art. There really isn't a set amount or a right answer to that question. I have a few videos explaining that here on my channel but there isn't a good answer.

What RPM should I use with this two step technique? Orange/brown, yellow/green on a working semi. 10 wheels and 2 tanks. Great vids! New sub!
