Surface Conditioning, Satin Finishing & Wool Polishing Drum Kit
Four 120 x 100 x 19mm drums for blending, brushed finishing, surface refinement and final polishing.
“`
A Complete Metal Surface Finishing System
“`
The Polish Up 4 Piece Surface Conditioning and Wool Polishing Drum Kit provides a practical progression from medium surface conditioning through to fine satin finishing and final polishing.
The kit includes three colour-coded non-woven satin finishing drums plus a dense wool polishing drum. It is ideal for refining sanding marks, blending light surface imperfections, creating an even brushed finish and improving the final shine on metal and suitable non-metal surfaces.
“`
What Is Included in the Kit?
“`
1 x Green Surface Conditioning Drum — 180–240#
The strongest non-woven grade in the kit. Suitable for general surface conditioning, blending, cleaning, reducing light oxidation and producing a consistent medium satin finish.
1 x Red Satin Finishing Drum — 320–400#
A finer surface conditioning grade for refining visible marks, smoothing the finish left by earlier preparation and producing a cleaner brushed metal appearance.
1 x Grey Fine Finishing Drum — 600–1000#
Designed for fine surface refinement, light blending and pre-polish preparation where a smoother and more uniform finish is required.
1 x Wool Polishing Drum
The dense wool polishing drum provides smooth, controlled finishing on metal and suitable non-metal surfaces. Its flat profile maintains consistent surface contact while helping minimise heat build-up, surface marking and material distortion.
