Importance of Polishing
you’ve ever worked with metal, you know the importance of the polishing stage to make a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Polishing compounds are one of the key materials in the polishing process. These compounds come in the form of a bar. Depending on the type of compound, contain different minerals and materials that help achieve a particular polishing job. It can be hard to know which compound to use. Located below is a guide to polishing compounds and their uses.
Stages of Polishing
Rough Cut
In this first stage of polishing, professionals use a rough abrasive to smooth away any scratches in the metal. This type of buffing smooths by cutting away the excess metal.
Final Cut and Initial Polish
In this stage, intermediate compounds continue to cut and smooth the metal material. This type of polishing produces more shine than the first.
Final Polish
In this final stage of polishing, compounds with finer materials are used to give the metal material a smooth, lustrous, final polish.
