Default Polishing SPEED

What is the correct polishing speed- and is there a point where you are polishing too quickly? I have an air driver on my air compressor with a max speed of 20,000 rpm. Several of your kits work on electric drills which operate at a much lower rpm rating.

Read the section in our buffing manual on SFPM (Surface Feet Per Second). The higher the SFPM, the faster your job gets finished.

If you can spin larger buffs on your machine, you should.
