The yellow polishing pad should be used first to gently but effectively cut through the oxidation and haze--to be followed up with the white finishing pad to refine and elevate your finish.
*Prior to starting your drill or machine, it is important to insert the loaded bit into the wheel/project surface as shown below. this will help to minimize slinging and the deformation of the bit at high speeds that may cause it to blow apart.*
Pro Tips:
- Lower RPM for polishing — prevents heat buildup, swirl marks, or burning softer metals like aluminum.
- Higher RPM for cutting — works well for initial scratch removal or blending.
- Always check the manufacturer’s max RPM rating — exceeding it can cause the pad to tear apart.
- If you’re using compounds, slower speeds often give better results for final shine.
