Buffing Wheels for Metal Polish Application

Metal Buffers were created to eliminate the elbow grease, the rubbing and buffing, and all the effort the majority of polishes and application require in order to restore and polish the metal(s). Ever wonder why? Metals are porous and the build up can be severe. By applying abrasives you’re literally scratching the build up. It’s a manual method of removal. Metal buffers just help the polisher apply more effort because they’re able to use more applied pressure than by a hand application.

Use Sheen Genie's Metal Polisher

Sheen Genie products use a non-abrasive formula. With 30 specialized and designed especially for today’s problematic areas and applications in metal polishing there’s simply no requirement for the use of a metal buffer. The level of gloss is much higher because fine layers of the metal aren’t being scratched away. However, Sheen Genie can absolutely be used with any type of metal buffer. While a metal buffer is not needed, it can directly help save a little on the elbow grease and help you get those big jobs done quickly.

Polishing Requirements

To achieve optimal results when polishing metal surfaces, you need to ensure that the surface is clean and free of dirt, grime, and any previous coatings. Begin by applying a small amount of Sheen Genie Metal Polish to a clean, soft cloth or applicator pad. Gently rub the polish onto the metal surface using circular motions, working in small sections at a time. Apply additional polish as needed to cover the entire surface evenly. Once applied, allow the polish to dry to a haze before buffing it off with a clean, dry cloth, revealing the desired shine. Repeat the process as necessary until the desired level of shine is achieved. Remember to follow safety precautions and manufacturer instructions when using metal polish to ensure effective and safe results.
