Why This Rake Is Useful
Removes compound build-up
When too much polishing compound loads into the buffing wheel, the buff can harden and lose effectiveness. This rake helps remove that excess build-up. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

When To Rake Your Buff
Excessive metal polishing compound on the buffing wheel can cause the wheel to harden and compound to stick to the edge. That reduces polishing effectiveness and finish quality.
If you notice a strong increase in residue or aluminium particle build-up while buffing, it is a sign the buff should be raked and only a small amount of compound reapplied. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
