Product Information

White and grey aluminium oxide abrasives are used on high tensile strength metals, such as carbon and alloy steel, tough iron, and nonferrous alloys. Gray silicon carbide abrasives are used on hard and brittle substances, such as grey iron and cemented carbide, and low tensile strength metals, such as brass, aluminium, and copper. [1] Green chromium(III) oxide is the abrasive used in green compounds that are typically used to finish ferrous metals (steels). When it comes to buffing your car, you might wonder if you need all the different colored buffing pads available in the market. The answer depends on your specific needs and goals for your vehicle’s finish. Most shallow and medium scratches can be quite hard to tell apart. If you spot a scratch on your car, pass your fingernail over the mark. If your fingernail gets caught, this is a medium scratch at the very least.

Green buffing pads are light cutting foam pads that provide a gentle approach to paint correction, making them ideal for removing minor imperfections such as fine swirl marks and light oxidation. They work best with finishing polishes like Griot’s Garage Complete Compound, which offers a balanced blend of abrasives and polishing oils. Blue K) Use one compound per mop. This keeps everything simple for example if you are using a sisal mop with a grey compound try not to change. It is possible to change the compound but make sure the old compound has been removed. Tools like mop dressers and wheel rakes are ideal for this application.

Buffing pads come in various colors, each representing a specific level of aggressiveness and purpose. Understanding the meaning behind these colors will help you choose the right pad for your car’s paint correction needs. White Important For thin sheet Aluminium we have a new fine finishing compound available 480F, this is a light green compound that is more greasy than the normal finishing compounds which keeps the surface cooler. We avoid sisals on sheet work aluminium and look at soft wheels such as open stitch. Coarse grades of the polishing compound have big particles, but they’re not as rough as sandpaper or steel wool. NW1 uses advanced particle technology to result in a cutting compound which progresses from rapid, coarse cutting through to find finishing all from one compound. As polishing progresses, the cutting particles gradually break down, becoming smaller and smaller and allowing NW1 to take a mould from P1200 scratches through to a good level of gloss in a single compound. This process should be repeated until there is a substantial build of polish that has been achieved. This could mean several passes over the surface of the wood to complete this step.

Linhart prefers to use what he calls “a blasting type of device loaded with baking soda powder” at his practice. Protect your hands with rubber gloves Many of these products contain strong chemicals that can be an irritant to bare skin. If any of the car scratch remover does get on your bare skin, wash it off with soap and rigorous scrubbing. Available in four grades. Important!! to remember that each grade contains a grit but they do not have to cut or finish of a true abrasive, they give a much softer finish. We test the most popular car scratch removers that can be applied by hand. We buy all the products we test.

Process 1 (Prepolishing) Green 439Tor Tripoli 113GZ compound with a white close stitched polishing mop Fold the twisted ends of the cotton cloth over the pad to fashion a handgrip, leaving a smooth and crease free sole to the pad. What is grit in polishing compounds? In short, this is the measurement of coarseness to the fineness of the polishing compound. Abrasive process for creating smooth finished surfaces A tarnished and unpolished silver bowl (left) and a polished silver piece (right). There is a visible difference in cleanliness and color. The piece held above the two bowls has also been polished. (These pieces are part of an 18th-century silver epergne in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art). The web on the VFA and FA looks almost exactly the same but as you can see the grits are very different.
