Rows of brown Maverick polishing compound bars on a workbench

Polishing & Finishing

Everything you need to take metal from sanded to mirror: airway buffing wheels from 6" to 20", color-coded polishing compound bars, complete kits for aluminum, stainless steel, copper and brass, and the flanges, rakes, mandrels and adapters that make it all run. We manufacture our wheels and compounds in Anaheim, California, and the pairings below are the ones our own polishing customers use every day.

Which compound goes with which wheel

Compound Best for Pair with
Black stainless cutting bar Heavy cut on steel and stainless, removes 320–400 grit scratches Red treated airway
Brown tripoli Cutting aluminum, removes 400–600 grit scratches Orange treated airway
Yellow deluxe Second-step polish on stainless and steel Pink treated airway
Green rouge Second-step polish on aluminum Yellow mill treated airway
No Scratch Pink One-step polish on plastics, composites, fiberglass and wood UBM untreated airway
Purple high luster Final mirror finish on any metal UBM or Domet flannel airway
Jeweler's red rouge Silver, gold and platinum Domet flannel airway

Not sure where to start? The Aluminum Polishing Kit, Stainless Steel Polishing Kit and Copper & Brass Polishing Kit bundle the right wheels and bars for each metal. For the full explanation of cut, color and treatment, read Buffing Wheels and Compounds Explained.
