Re: Help Polishing GSXR 1000 subframe
btorres09,
Buffs in relation to there hardness would be Sisal, Sewn and Loose. Now in between the sisal and the sewn would be treated airway and untreated airway buffs. Compounds according to there coarseness would be Emery, Stainless Steel, Tripoli and White. Yes you can use Stainless Steel compound to buff aluminum if it get you the desired effect. A lot of polishing can depend on the type of aluminum that you are polishing IE, if you can polish the aluminum to the finish that you want using Tripoli and a sewn buff as your last step thats fine. You want to use a dedicated buff for each compound and rake the buff often.
Obviously this is over simplified but I think you get the picture.
