Combination Airway Buffing Wheels for Metal Polishing

Combination Airway Buffing Wheels are engineered with dual fabric treatments and ply constructions to meet specific metal polishing needs. Designed for aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, these wheels simplify the polishing process across all stages—cut, color, and finish.

Product Features:

•Multi-Treatment Fabric Blends: Each wheel combines different mill-treat fabrics to tailor stiffness and flexibility for each stage of metal polishing.

•Stage-Specific Performance: Options available for cutting (Red/Pink), coloring (Orange/Yellow, Purple/Yellow), and finishing (UBM+UBM, Flannel+UBM).

•Optimized Ply Construction: High ply-counts (up to 20-ply) for durability and consistent contact during buffing.

•Edge Buffing Design: Designed for edge buffing with angle grinders—ideal for detail work on contours and rims.

•Pro-Approved Compatibility: Best paired with MAKITA 9237C (3,500 RPM) or MAKITA GA7021 (6,000 RPM) for optimal performance and control.

Buffing Wheel Lineup:

Maverick (Red/Pink): 20-ply cutting wheel for both aluminum and stainless; pair with T88, T121, Q36, WildBerry, or WildCherry bars at 3,500 RPM.

Sundown (Orange/Yellow): 16-ply color wheel for both metals; use with Green Tripoli or Yellow Deluxe bars at 2,500–3,000 RPM.

Jester (Purple/Yellow): Transitional color-stage wheel; pair with Green Rouge or Yellow Deluxe at 2,200–2,800 RPM.

Hollywood (UBM/UBM): Semi-finish wheel for flat surfaces; ideal with Blue or Purple finishing bars at 1,800–2,200 RPM.

Cyclone (Flannel/UBM): Finishing-stage wheel for maximum shine; use with White, Blue, or Competition Purple bars.

Buffing Maintenance Tips:

Always rake your buffing wheels to remove spent compound and prevent fiber hardening. If metal dust output drops or surface quality declines, rake and reapply compound. For grinders, anchor the rake with your feet and approach safely.

RPM Recommendations by Stage:

• Cut Stage: 3,000–3,500 RPM
• Color Stage: 2,200–2,800 RPM
• Finish Stage: 1,800–2,200 RPM

Safety First: Use a full face respirator mask to protect against airborne polishing debris during extended sessions.

Combination Airway Buffing Wheels offer unmatched flexibility and performance for users seeking pro-level polishing results with simplified setup.
