Polish Up supplies polishing machines, wheels, compounds and complete systems for restoring and finishing stainless steel across Australia. Whether the goal is a clean satin finish or a high mirror shine, the right staged process saves time and produces a more consistent result.

Match the Process to the Starting Surface

Stainless steel is hard and can retain heat, so wheel selection, compound choice and controlled pressure matter. Deep marks and weld discolouration usually need preparation before polishing. A sound surface may progress directly through cutting and finishing stages.

  • Remove oxidation, weld marks and fabrication scratches.
  • Cut and level the surface with the appropriate compound and wheel.
  • Refine to reduce polishing lines.
  • Finish with a clean soft wheel and finishing compound.

Typical Applications

  • Exhausts, tanks and automotive trim
  • Marine and food-service stainless
  • Handrails, fittings and architectural metalwork
  • Fabricated parts and workshop production
