treated wheels

[pickleboy]

i am a newbie to polishing so i have a question or two. first is there a senseable difference in using treated wheels over non treated. second what is best for cast bronze. i am polishing alum. brass and bronze on old gas pump nozzles. i will post as soon as i can get some pics. i am going to place a caswell order next day or so and want to try to get the right stuff first time out. thanks for all responses

The treated wheels are slightly harder and wear longer. HOWEVER, wheels are a personal thing. There is no BEST wheel!

Some folks prefer one wheel, coupled with a different compound, whilst others will do the job a different way.

You need to try them all, after all, they are cheap. Experiment, and by doing so, you'll soon find your optimum technique and become an expert.
