POLISHING/SATINISINGIntroduction & technical informationPERFECTPOLISHINGMaximum 3 steps for perfect high-gloss surfaces:1. Cutting follows surface grinding and removesmaterial. For this reason, prepolishing is not suitablefor soft metals. Working with a sisal cloth ringsmoothes out unevenness, removes stretch marksand scratches, and prepares rough and uncoatedsurfaces for polishing.2. High-quality polishing removes traces of cuttingand further smoothes the surface. The best resultscan be achieved using our specially developedNOTIFLEX® polishing cloth (outstanding resultswithout unattractive bias stitching where reducedamounts of compound are used). Numerous highquality non-fraying cloth polishing buffs withextended service life are available.3. Colouring calls for minimal pressure andshort finishing times.
