Polishing alumium with a bench polisher

Polishing aluminum with a bench polisher can be a straightforward process if done correctly. Here are the steps to polish aluminum using a bench polisher:

Materials and Tools:

  1. Aluminum piece to be polished
  2. Bench polisher (also known as a bench grinder with a polishing wheel attachment)
  3. Polishing compound or buffing compound
  4. Safety goggles
  5. Dust mask
  6. Work gloves
  7. Apron or protective clothing

Procedure:

1. Safety First: Before you start, make sure you are wearing safety goggles, a dust mask, and work gloves. Polishing aluminum can generate fine metal dust and debris that can be harmful if it comes into contact with your eyes or lungs.

2. Prepare the Bench Polisher: Ensure that the bench polisher is securely mounted to your workbench or table. Make sure it is in good working condition and the polishing wheel is clean and free of debris.

3. Select the Polishing Compound: Choose a suitable polishing compound or buffing compound for aluminum. There are various types available, such as aluminum oxide or tripoli compounds. The choice depends on the level of polishing required.

4. Apply the Compound: Turn on the bench polisher and apply a small amount of the polishing compound to the polishing wheel. Let the wheel spin for a moment to evenly distribute the compound.

5. Polishing the Aluminum:

  • Hold the aluminum piece securely but gently against the spinning polishing wheel. Make sure not to press too hard, as excessive pressure can damage the aluminum.
  • Move the aluminum piece back and forth, ensuring that you cover the entire surface evenly.
  • Keep the piece in motion and do not dwell on one spot for too long to avoid overheating and damaging the aluminum.
  • Adjust the angle and pressure as needed to achieve the desired level of shine.

6. Inspect and Repeat: Periodically stop and inspect the aluminum to check the progress. If it’s not polished to your satisfaction, continue polishing with the compound.

7. Clean the Surface: Once you’ve achieved the desired level of shine, turn off the bench polisher. Wipe off any excess polishing compound with a clean cloth or rag.

8. Final Touches: If you want an even higher level of shine, you can switch to a finer polishing compound and repeat the process.

9. Cleanup: Dispose of any used polishing compound properly and clean your bench polisher’s wheel for future use.

10. Safety Considerations: Remember to keep safety in mind throughout the process. Wear appropriate protective gear, and be cautious to avoid accidents.

Aluminum polishing can produce a brilliant shine when done correctly. However, practice and patience are essential, as achieving a mirror-like finish may take some time and effort, especially for larger or more intricate aluminum pieces.

General Metal Polishing Instructions

General Instructions For Polishing

Suppliers of an extensive range of polishing products and accessories to professionals, retailers and the DIY enthusiast.

What is Polishing 

Polishing sometimes known as finishing, buffing or colouring is the process of removing scratches and abrasions from a surface, and creating the desired brightness of finish on that surface.  Polishing, like using sand paper, consists of procedures each of which is less abrasive than the previous. A combination of mops and compounds are used with a buffing machine or a household electric drill (pneumatic tools may also be used but only at relatively low speeds (4000 rpm max.)

Different combinations of polishing wheel and compound gives the desired cut / colouring action and finish. To avoid contamination or mixing of compounds use a different mop for each compound. Do not mix different compounds on the same mop. Alternatively “freshen” the polishing wheel with a wire brush to remove residue compound and metal from the wheel.

Alloy wheel kit

Drill mounted Polishing Kits

Drill mounted polishing kits for those small,tighter spots

 

If you are polishing small articles then you can fix your drill into a vice, this will enable you to polish these small articles with ease.

Sometimes when you have polished you may see a slight coat of grease or finger marks on the work piece, these can be removed with Whiting Powder followed by Liquid Reflection or Mirrorfinish Metal Polish to complete the job.

If you wish to Electroplate or lacquer the polished article please make sure you use a good degreaser and do not protect with wax polish. Any dirt or grease/wax will interfere with the adhesion of the plated metal or lacquer.

Surface Polishing Preparation 

Unclean/dirty/greasy material should be prepared properly before being polished. For polishing soft metals and depending on the surface condition, start at 6 on the step by step guide above. Should parts be heavily scratched, marked or scored then suitable abrasives should be used.( flap wheel, abrasive cloth/paper, rubbing blocks etc. )

In many instances the surface of what you are polishing will need to be prepared prior to polishing. The preparation really depends on the condition of the surface and the desired finish you require. The devil is in the detail hence the better you prepare the surface the better the final result. The use of wet/dry abrasive papers and discs may be required and the finer the abrasive, generally the easier and more impressive the polished finish.

Drill-Polisher-Grinder AdaptorsPolishing Wheel Spindle Adaptor Kit

Spindle adaptors, tapered Mandrels are used to secure your polishing wheels onto your drill machine, bench grinder, variable speed polisher/grinder etc.

Before purchasing an adaptor check the dimensions of the shaft and threads to see if we have the relevant adaptors for your machine.

Description Of  Polishing Wheels & Mops

Sisal Polishing Wheel.

These are very fast cutting and hard, they are particularly useful for first stage heavy duty mopping operations on steel and non-ferrous metals. They will remove grinding marks left from previous operations, when processing steel, stainless steel or non-ferrous metals and are usually used in conjunction with a coarse cutting stainless steel polish.

Colour Stitch     

White Stitch Polishing Wheels.

Versatile cutting mops used for general polishing, can be used for first stage polishing with Brown polishing compound on soft metals (brass, copper, etc), or for second stage polishing on hard metals with Pink polishing compound.

Loose Flap Quality Polishing Wheel.

A harder grade of loose mop which is commonly used as an alternative to white stitch mops. Very popular for precious metals.

Swansdown (WDR) Polishing Wheels

A very soft grade of finishing mop. WDR means “white double raised” and these wheels are also know as Swansdown wheels. Generally used for soft precious metals, jewellery etc. in the final finish.

Airflow Treated and Untreaded Polishing Wheels

Quality materials are used in the manufacture of these wheels, ensuring a longer mop life and greater output compared with conventional mops. They are very clean in operation and are specially suited for heavy duty moping and finishing on metals, plastics and other non metallic materials. The treated Airflow wheels are more aggressive and used in the cutting, first stage of polishing whilst the untreated airflows are for finishing.

Dome Cylinder Goblet Polishing Wheels

Supplied in sisal and calico these drill mounted polishing mops are used to access tight and difficult to reach areas.

Excellent for use in maintenance kits, the calico mops can be used with most of our compounds.  The sisal mops can effectively be used with our cutting compounds.

Mounted Felt Cylinder Bob

Versatile across many mediums, these medium density points will work on stone, ceramics, metals, as well as jewellery. Bonded onto a 3mm/6mm shaft that fits most rotary tools or drill machines. These felts tools are a popular and economical method of polishing when used in conjunction with compounds.

Safety First!

Always make sure that the machine you are working with is in safe working order i.e. bench grinder is securely fastened to your work bench, adaptors polishing wheels are securely fastened etc.

Always use safety equipment- Dust mask, safety spectacles and gloves should be worn at all times. 

Always apply the item being finished to the area of the mop which is rotating away from yourself.

Do not wear loose clothing that may get caught in the machine.

Kits to revitalise your scratched sink to a high new finish.

Step By Step Guide To Polishing

  1. 1. Attach arbour to your drill or spindle adapter to your bench grinder / polisher and fix tightly.
  2. 2. Attach Sisal Mop onto the arbour/adapter and screw on tightly.
  3. 3. Run the drill / bench grinder / polisher and apply the relevant compound to the sisal mop for approx. 2 seconds, the compound is wax / abrasive based so the motion of the spinning mop generates heat which melts the wax/abrasive onto the polishing mop.
  4. 4. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with medium/hard pressure. It is very important that you remove all marks/scratches and leave a uniform finish.
  5. 5. Apply more compound to the Sisal Mop if needed. When all scratches/marks are removed and the work piece has a uniform dull finish, remove the Sisal polishing mop.
  6. 6. Attach the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop onto the arbour/adapter and screw on tightly. Run the machine and apply the relevant compound to the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop for approx. 2 seconds.
  7. 7. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with medium pressure. This will remove the dull finish left by the first process and leave the work piece with a semi-bright finish.
  8. 8. Apply more compound to the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop if needed. When you have a uniform semi-bright finish, remove the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop.
  9. 9. Attach either the unstitched B Quality Mop onto arbour / adapter and screw on tightly.

Run the drill / bench grinder / polisher and apply the relevant compound to the unstitched B or G Mop for approx. 2 seconds.

  1. 10. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with light pressure. This will remove the semi bright finish left by the second process and leave the work piece with a bright finish. Apply more compound to the unstitched Mop if needed and repeat the process.

You should now be left with a bright finish.

  1. Using a clean microfiber cloth, rub the polished article with Whiting Powder/Vienne Lime or Liquid Reflection, Reflection paste or Blue Sapphire. This will remove any residue compound, metal and grease left on the surface and provide you the polished finish.

Tips 

Try to constantly vary the directions of which you polish. This is not always possible but recommended as some articles may be of an unsuitable size and shape.

Use compound sparingly, black grease marks will appear on work piece if too much compound has been applied to the mop. Remove black grease marks with cloth. Remember little and often. If it is possible, polish across marks/scratches not along them.

If the surface of work piece is lacquered you must remove the lacquer before polishing.

Description Of Polishing Compounds

There is a substantial range of cutting, polishing, buffing compounds suited to different levels finishes depending on the polishing wheel and compound combinations.

  

Blue bar = Multishine: The multi-purpose finishing compound. Suitable for all metals. Also performs well as a cutter if used on a hard cotton or sisal buff.

Brown bar = Tripoli: Combined cutting and finishing compound for soft metals only. Suitable for alloys, aluminium, brass, copper and zinc diecast. Follow up with a finishing compound if a brighter surface is required.

Grey bar =Course Cutter: A fast and economical cutter for hard metals. The rate of metal removal is high, with less emphasis on brightness. To be used on sisal buffs for the removal of scratches and “orange peel” from all metals.

Green bar = green Chro

me: For mirror finishing with minimal cut. Best used after a perfect cutting or prepolishing operation. Polishes all metals to high brightness when used on a soft cotton buff.

White bar = SS Finish: For high brightness and good cut. Suitable for all metals, including stainless steel. Recommended for surfaces that are smooth to begin with and are free of deep scratches. Use a sisal buff for cutting and a cotton buff for bright finishing.

Terracotta bar = Bright Cut DX:  A fast cutter for all metals with medium brightness. May be used on a sisal buff for cutting, followed on a cotton buff for medium brightness.

Vienne Lime Cleaning Powder Or Whiting Powder: Excellent for use with our polishing kits. Use this after you have finished polishing to remove grease and compound residues after polishing. Apply it to a clean lint free cloth/microfibre and wipe where you’ve been polishing. Please note that Vienna Lime is not an actual lime powder but a pure form of super fine calcium carbonate (chalk). This will save you time and effort as opposed to using white spirit or other methods.

Liquid Reflect, Blue Sapphire, Mirrorfinish metal polishes and many others are used in your final application to maintain a long lasting bright finish to your polished surface. These polishes can be used in the maintenance of your polished items as well.

Surface Preparation Abrasives

Flap wheels are designed to be flexible and conform themselves to the shape being sanded. Flap wheels flex to the different dimensions and shapes of the work piece and sand flat, high and low areas with the same effectiveness. Surfaces include wood, metal, plastics, rubber, stone. Wet and dry abrasives up to 2000grit are ideal for the surface preparation of most metals and can be used before moving onto the buffs and compound combinations.

“Ok, your Forever BLACK Bumper & Trim Reconditioner is about the greatest thing I have ever found for use on a car or truck. The Forever BLACK Bed Liner Gel also worked very well on my spray-in Rhino liner. Thank you for all of your help, support and for being part of such a great product!”

“We own a 1991 Honda. The paint was failing and my wife was lobbying for a new car. However, the car still drives great. We decided to get a paint job. Once we had the car painted, the side moldings and bumpers looked really bad – mottled and gray. My wife googled and found your product. It really made a difference. We used the Forever BLACK Bumper & Trim Reconditioner and now the car looks like its brand new. I liked the Bumper & Trim Reconditioner’s applicator for spreading the product around. It was easy to control and to achieve an even finish. So, with your help our old car looks new again and I’m not making car payments! I’m glad we found you!”

Bill, Louisiana

“I recently purchased some Forever BLACK Bumper & Trim Reconditioner for my wife’s car. The vinyl was very faded and going white. After applying the Bumper & Trim Reconditioner it has transformed her car. I was amazed with the results. I have used many vinyl treatments, but this beats them hands down. I will recommend your products to everyone!”

Ryan, Republic of Ireland

“I recently used the Forever BLACK Bumper & Trim Reconditioner on a 21 year old Renault 5. I wasn’t sure if it would work as the bumpers and side trims were faded to white. After a few applications, the car looked brilliant and all of the plastic bumpers and side panels looked like new. I have had neighbors asking if I have had the car professionally restored – that’s how good it looks! I just wanted to say what a great product this is and I have and will continue to recommend this product to everyone I know.
Thanks very much for an item that does exactly what it says it does on the bottle.”

    This stuf is brilliant.Does a fantastic job of cleaning all Jewellery and plated items. Its quick and easy to use, producing a fantastic shine and sparkle. You can certainly tell the difference. We just tip a little into a separate bowl and after cleaning you’ll see just how dirty some items get from day to day wear, looking at the used liquid. Don’t bother looking in the major supermarkets, they stopped selling this stuff over a year ago.

Alloy, Stainless Steel Metal Polish Called Blue Sapphire

Liquid and Paste Blue Sapphire

If you are looking for a clever polish that’ll give you a brilliant finish and make your metal surface resonate then this is the polish. Using nano technology, this product has been designed for bikes mainly but can also be used on an extensive variety of metal surfaces. The results will speak for themselves and will definitely be money well spent.

Try it!

Blue Sapphire are metal polishes that impart the same brilliant shine as Liquid Reflection, however it is designed for detailed and intricate surfaces such a motorbike chrome or antiques. After polishing Blue Sapphire dries to a fine powder that is easily brushed or vacuumed off, leaving no residue to adhere to the surface. High pressure air can also be used to blow out left over polish caught in tight nooks and crannies.

Blue sapphire is recommended for Chrome trim over Liquid Reflection as the abrasive is a little finer.

Cerium Oxide Glass Polish | Polishing Glass

Polish Up Microfiber Cloths

400 x 400mm Microfibre Polishing Cloth

Microfiber cloths are used for cleaning and polishing, are generally constructed from split conjugated fibers of polyester and polyamide.  They can hold up to seven times there weight in water and have exceptional ability to absorb oils, and are not hard enough to scratch even paintwork.

These Microfiber cloths require no cleaning fluid. Ensure that your microfiber cloth is clean and not retaining any grit as it will scratch the surface you are polishing.

They must only be washed in regular washing detergent, not oily, self-softening, soap-based detergents. Fabric softener must not be used. The oils in the softener and self-softening detergents will clog up the fibers and make them less effective until the oils are washed out.

The following diagram illustrates the efficiency of microfiber cloths as opposed to cotton or other cloths. (Information provided by Wikipedia)

There are cheaper options available, but I found the microfibre cloth from Polish Up to be higher quality and you will notice this when it comes to using them. Be aware of quantity packs at what will seem to be “a good price”. You get what you pay for!!

I can see things on these articles which I have been unable to see because other cleaners did not perform like Goddard’s Brass & Copper Polish. The picture on the label is just how my brass goods are looking. Thank you Goddard’s.

    Brass and Copper Polish

    This product is astonishingly good! I used it to clean a heavily tarnished musical instrument of unlacquered brass. The tarnish just vanished as soon as the product was applied, and after drying, revealed a lovely soft warm shine. Very good indeed.

    No only is it great for cleaning it prevents the brass from tarnishing and reduces the times of recleaning.

    A quality product that shows in the ease of use and end result – brilliant long lasting lustre – highly recommended. A product name remembered from my childhood for its quality.
