Start with cutting/prep: Use treated sisal or airflow wheels with heavy‑cut compounds to remove oxidation and surface defects.
Brightening stage: Transition to colour-stitch or white-stitch for fine removal of scratches and improving surface clarity.
Final polishing: Employ loose leaf (“B”) wheels or swansdown with fine compounds for a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
Special shapes or small areas: Felt, goblet, or pointed mop attachments on drills deliver precision control where larger wheels can’t.
