Cutting Compounds: Metal Polishing Compound for Buffing Wheels

Renegade Products is the premier manufacturer of polishing compounds that are robust in quality due to our use of premium raw materials. We do not use cheap fillers in our polishing compounds like other manufacturers that prioritize profit over bar quality. 

Our cutting compounds are meant to be used with our stiffest buffing wheels to do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to removing the oxidation and surface imperfections on your polished metal projects.

What are metal polishing compounds?

Our metal polishing compounds are used with our Airway Buffing Wheels to increase the effectiveness of the wheel while being used during the cutting, buffing, and polishing process. Some are of a coarser consistency and are usually used to remove scratches while the others are finer, which lends to them being used to shine and finish your work. 

Precise Wheel and Compound Pairings for Effective Polishing

Achieving a brilliant finish on aluminum and stainless steel involves a precise two-step process:

For aluminum, start with our Brown Tripoli Metal Polishing Compound paired with our Orange Airway Buffing Wheel. This step is typically done around 3,000 to 3,500 RPM.

Follow up with our Yellow Airway Buffing Wheel combined with our Green Rouge Metal Polishing Compound for the perfect shine. This step is typically done around 2,500 to 3,000 RPM.

When polishing stainless steel, the initial step involves the red airway buffing wheel and Black Magic Polishing Compound, followed by the Pink buffing wheel and Yellow Deluxe Compound for added brilliance. This step is typically done around 3,000 to 3,500 RPM.

For an exceptional show-quality shine, consider using a Domet Flannel or UBM buffing wheel with our Blue Rouge Metal Polishing Compound, Competition Purple Metal Polishing Compound, or our Blueberry Ultra-Fine Synthetic Polishing Compound, but be sure to keep the RPMs below 2,200 for optimal results.
