By using only first class, long sisal fibers for matting and braid, the quality of the sisal polishing tools is exceptional and guarantees a long life. Sisal buffing with the appropriate compounds can easily follow grinding with abrasive belt grits of 240 for non-ferrous metals and grit 280 for stainless steel; pure cotton buffs would be hard pressed to do this. This conversion from abrasive belt grinding to sisal buffing at an early stage is economical and cost effective; a good industrial finish will be achieved but no mirror finish without refinement. Finer, more shining surfaces can be achieved by using sisal\/cotton combinations, instead of pure sisal matting or sisal braid. Sisal buffing wheels are frequently impregnated with special treatments to increase the longevity of the buff, enhance the polishing effect, and enhance compound retention - resulting in savings on both polishing buffs and compounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuff will need to be raked prior to initial use.

Soft and flexible buffing wheels allow you to apply the finest compounds gently and evenly, resulting in a beautiful, flawless mirror finish. Utilizing a less dense 60\/60 weave, these soft cotton buffing wheels provide less firmness but a softer feel and cleaner finish than standard 86\/82 untreated cloth; they also generate and retain heat more efficiently than 42\/40 Domet flannel. Due to the hard-wearing nature of our European textiles, we opted to add plys but reduce the total volume of cloth in each ply; this produced a buff with equivalent life but a less firm face, resulting in a cleaner and more consistent finish as it wears down (compared to our original 20 ply configuration).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssembled in the USA!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003eRecommendations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-p126-stainless-steel-finish\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Menzerna P126 Stainless Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna P126\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-480w-brass-finish\" title=\"Menzerna 480W Brass Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480w-brass-finish\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna 480W\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-480blf-aluminum-finish\" title=\"Menzerna 480BLF Aluminum Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480blf-aluminum-finish\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna 480BLF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-p175-universal-super-finish\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Menzerna P175 Universal Super Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMenzerna P175\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMenzerna M5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuff will need to be raked prior to initial use.
