Description
Sanding Airway Buffs For Metal Polishing
Save time and sanding disc cost. Take the work out of surface preparation with a sanding buff that combines the cutting action of sanding discs with the flexibility and control of a buffing wheel. The 12-Ply design of the Sanding Airway Buffs conforms to curves, edges, contours, and uneven surfaces. These sanding buffs provide fast, consistent material removal while reaching areas that can be difficult to sand effectively with conventional discs or sheets.
The semi-flexible J-Weight abrasive strips move across the work surface to level oxidation, pitting, coatings, scratches, and textured areas while producing a more uniform and forgiving finish.
Compared with traditional sandpaper, the open, flexible construction is less prone to loading and helps reduce harsh scratch patterns and uneven pressure—making it easier to transition from sanding into the polishing process.
Ideal for aluminum, stainless steel, and other metal surfaces, sanding buffs are especially effective on truck wheels, water channels, diamond plate, step surfaces, welds, cast aluminum, curved components, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Key Benefits
- Combines aggressive sanding performance with the flexibility of a buffing wheel
- Conforms to curved, contoured, and irregular surfaces
- Quickly removes oxidation, pitting, coatings, scratches, and surface imperfections
- Helps produce a more consistent scratch pattern before polishing
- Less prone to glazing and loading than conventional sanding discs
- Excellent for areas that are difficult to reach with traditional sanding tools
- Helps reduce sanding time and operator fatigue
- Available in multiple grits for progressive surface refinement
Control the Cut
The cutting action can be adjusted through wheel speed and working pressure. Higher wheel speed with lighter pressure produces a more aggressive cutting action, while lower speed with additional pressure allows the abrasive strips to flex more against the surface for smoother blending and contour work.
The use of a grease stick is recommended to add lubrication, reduce heat, and increase cutting power.
Pairing your Sanding Airway Buffs with polishing compounds such as our 539R, Q69, or Wild Cherry will allow for a softer, more refined finish.
Recommended for preparing and restoring:
- Aluminum wheels and truck rims
- Stainless steel
- Diamond plate
- Cast aluminum
- Welds and fabricated metal
- Curved and contoured surfaces
- Water channels and recessed areas
- Weathered, oxidized, or pitted metal
These sanding buffs can also be used for removing stubborn surface materials such as paint, tar, adhesives, silicone, and certain protective wheel coatings.
Grit Selection
Choose the appropriate grit based on the amount of correction required. Start with a coarser grit for heavier oxidation, pitting, coating removal, or material leveling, then progressively move through finer grits to refine the surface before buffing and polishing. These Sanding Airway Buffs are available in 180, 320, & 600 Grit variants.
Important:
These wheels should be used in the range of 1,500 to 2,000RPM. Always operate the wheel within the manufacturer's specified maximum RPM and use the proper mounting hardware and personal protective equipment.
NOTE:
Safety flanges should always be used when mounting a buffing wheel.
Safety Flanges are meant to reduce the chances warping of the center plate of the buffing wheel. In addition to offering protection against warping, Safety Flanges also help to keep the buffing wheel securely in place.

Awesome
"Should’ve saved time and money by going right to renegade. Don’t bother with the Amazon airway wheels and compound. I was trying to take my cast aluminum Harley fatboy wheels and polish them to a mirror finish. After several weekends of sanding the casting off up to 3000 grit paper I tried to polish them with a $50 Amazon kit. I ended up using the finish wheel from that kit with mother’s polish. That got me to a foggy semi shiny surface. I finally broke down and got a flannel wheel and comp purple from renegade and got close to what I wanted to achieve. I’m certain that had I got renegades aluminum kit I would’ve saved time and money and achieved exactly what I was looking for. As a side note, their customer service is top notch!"
