Machine Metal Polish

[ShaneB]

I did some digging and couldn't find any info on it. Does anyone Machine polish the Metal Polish. If so what pad to do you use and what RPM is suggested?

I usually polish metal with the Adams cordless drill adapter and I have also used a similar air powered 3" rotary before.  I think using an orbital might end up in a giant mess (slinging black liquid everywhere).

Adam's had a light blue 4" pads at one time, but it appears it is no longer available.  But yes, you can use any of the polishing pads with the Metal Polishes.  As Jake stated, it is probably best to use the SK or Rupes Mini polishers on a low speed.

Yep, I've used the 4" Cordless Drill Backing Plate, as well as the Swirl Killer Mini, Rupes Mini, and even the Cyclo with 4" foam pads on large diamond plate areas on some trailers and firetrucks. I've used our 4" white, orange, or blue foam pads with Metal Polish #1 depending on how severe the surface is, and then the 4" red or gray foam pad with Metal Polish #2 for finishing, since those two pads have zero cut to the foam.
