HI,just happened to be in my local budget store(rymes with baldie),well it does with way way we pronounce it around here boyo.Any way noticed they for 4 squid a polishing kit,yes I know its cheap.Kit consists of 2 polishing pastes,they look like bars of soap.One grey,one 1 brown.1 felt disc,1 buffing wheel plus an adaptor bit for my drill.Basically,whats the order/method of using this kit.Ok I've never used anything like this before,polishing normally consisting of 2 rags and a tube of Autosol.Any advice/mickey taking etc welcome,delete that second bit,Ta
Hi the grey bar is for cutting iI the brown bar is for polishing. Not bad for £4 but I would recommend a kit with the bars, the one missing is the blue bar for the final finish. But like I said for that price you can't go wrong and you could always use autosol and a fine cloth to finish the metal off. Use the brown first to remove scratches etc then the brown to get the finish. Might be handy as well if you clamp the drill down and take the part to the drill makes it easier, also wear goggles as the stuff gets everywhere. Most of all try it and have fun because once you start you will be polishing everything.
It won't make you any faster! It won't get you laid! It will make you anal! Id keep my £4 and go have some fun...
Polished pipes do look the mutts nuts, but isnt it a bit like the painting of the Forth Rail bridge as they'll get tarnished again pretty quickly
bought a polishing kit years ago think it was a cetem kit cost about £12 polished alsorts from engine casings exhausts etc to brass blow lamps lol yep can get addictive but definetly can be a bit of fun and dam messy have a go have a laugh some people like to polish bikes some like to fix bikes and some like to ride them as long as you enjoy lol
Just to add to the mix, if your pipes are previously unpolished then you may do better using a flapwheel to get the ridges, grooves and weld 'snot' (Termi) off before attempting any polishing...
For best results when trying to achieve the perfect finish is to start with Grey Menzerna and not the Brown, both are for first cutting but Brown is not recommended for stainless steel or any other hard metals, this would be followed by Green Menzerna then Blue, but for a mirror finish follow up with Pink and yellow, but more importantly is the type of mops you use as these can vary from sisal for use with cutting Menzerna and of course close stitch mops and the loose mops for finishing, but with all types of polishing it can't be rushed but the end results are amazing.
Using sisal mops with grey Merzerna will clean off all snot welds and any deep scratches on stainless
