Thread: My first restore. W&B Sheffield 4/8

For each of the wheels I used minimal pressure. Just enough to feel a slight tension and I can see the change.
When I using the tan wheel it wasn't removing any of the stains thus there was no reason to apply more pressure and I simply moved up in progression to gray then purple.

For the buffing wheel, I didn't use one. I wasn't after the polished appearance for my first restore. I simply added the polishing compound and rubbed it in by hand and it gave it a nice enough look.

However, I was told that if I used the buffing wheel it would have polished up nicely and most likely removed the stains.

How much pressure did you use on each of the wheels?
After the Purple (380 grit) where did you go? Buffing wheels, higher grit sandpaper, etc...?
How long did the wheels last you?

Excellent restore, BTW.
