Thread: What compound to what buffing wheel

personally I use my sewn cotton on black and green then I'll use loose cotton for my white and my blue In that order. That's for my steel and just a heads up black will take etching off ask me how I know �� U will also notice there will be build up or grease left over from the compounds I use brake fluid to remove it before using the next wheel to avoid contamination...

My woods I use Tripoli on sewn then white loose cotton, I also use different wheels for woods to metals

My horn and acrylics, kirinite polyester resin, I use black sewn then white loose cotton...

I hope that helps!
Good luck!

I just copied what Glen had posted and have found it to work well. Sewn wheels for greaseless, emory and tripoli then to loose wheels after that. This was a helpful thread for me

I'm with Karlej on this - a sisal wheel for the high cut/low polish compound, moving to sewn wheels and loose for the final buffing as the cut to polish ratio changes.
