Ensure proper Surface Preparation with Hook & Loop (Velcro) Sanding Discs
Our Hook & Loop (Velcro) Sanding Discs are your ideal choice for achieving a smooth, even surface before diving into the polishing process. Sanding progressively with finer grits is the key to concealing imperfections like pits, scratches, and burns, ultimately leading to a flawless, mirror-like finish. These versatile discs are expertly crafted for polishing both aluminum and stainless steel surfaces, and they are available in a range of grits including 80, 100, 120, 180, 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 grit.
Pro Tips for Effective Sanding
When working with aluminum or stainless steel, it's crucial to start with the least aggressive grit to address imperfections on your workpiece, whether it's a gas tank, Alcoa wheel, bumper, fender, or any other metal surface. If you're dealing with pits or scratches on a tank, begin with a less aggressive grit like 220 or 320. If this successfully removes the initial imperfections, you can progress through the sanding stages. In most cases, it's rare to need a coarser grit (example: 120 grit), except for more extreme situations in which the surface is heavily worn or weathered.
Choosing the Right Grits
While we offer coarse grits like 120, 180, and 220, the most common grits for metal polishing are often 320 and 400. The Brown Tripoli Polishing Compound for aluminum polishing (cutting stage on aluminum) and the Black Magic Polishing Compound for stainless polishing (cutting stage on stainless) can effectively remove scratches from sandpaper with a 400 grit. Therefore, transitioning to a 600 or 800 grit is typically necessary only for professionals seeking a show-quality shine.
Selecting the Perfect Sander
To complement your sanding process before using buffing wheels and buffing compounds for metal polishing, we recommend two outstanding sanders suitable for use with our sanding discs. Choose the one that best suits your needs:
-
Corded Orbital Sander - Craftsman Random Orbit Sander, priced around $55.
-
Cordless Orbital Sander - Milwaukee Cordless Orbital Sander, available around $120.
Both options provide excellent quality and seamlessly work with our sanding discs to help you achieve outstanding results in your metal polishing projects.

Sand paper and easy red
"Sand paper does the job so does easy red very well, I just can’t seem to get the sprayer on the easy red to work. I got to a job with a new bottle of easy red. I had to take the sprayer off and dump it on a rag. Yes I shook it very well before I put the straw in"

Great Product!
"I mainly use the 220, 400 and 600. I don't really see the point of using other grits. I have sanded down to 80 and gone all the way to 600 on wheels and from 10ft away I can't tell the difference in the ones that I only did 220 and 400 on."
"Honestly not as fine as i expected pretty thin as well"

VISUAL GRIT GUIDE
Start with the least aggressive grit that removes the defect
Test a small area first. Move coarser only when the current grit cannot correct the surface, then progress finer before polishing.
Reserve the coarser end for heavily worn or weathered metal. The original guidance notes that even 120 grit is rarely needed outside more extreme conditions.
For pits or scratches, begin with a less aggressive grit such as 220 or 320 and see whether it removes the initial imperfections.
A common final sanding stage before Brown Tripoli on aluminum or Black Magic on stainless steel.
Typically used when professionals want additional refinement before a show-quality shine.
Pro rule: do not automatically begin with the coarsest grit. Start with the least aggressive disc that corrects the surface and avoid skipping large grit steps.
