    I have both Mothers M&A polish, and the California Custom polish. Man O man does the California Custom’s make diamond plate polishing an easy task.
    I use an old piece of carpet to polish the diamond plate. It works well

      Yes, it is worth every last dollar. The green aluminum prep helps with the really tarnished stuff. The truck has about 50 square feet of diamond plate so I used a power buffer the whole time, otherwise I would have been there for weeks with a carpet square. But you are right that does work well for smaller areas.

      @@littlesquirtthefireengine5478 have you tried using a velcro attachment arbor, pressed onto the carpet back for the polish? Keep a small amount of constant pressure and it will hold firm.
      I should have been more descriptive in my initial comment. But that worked well for me.

    Just use a orange airway buff with some brown cutting Rouge and follow with a yellow wheel with some green compound and buff it out like new.

      You know what, I tried that. Spent all the money on a fancy digital buffer, a bunch of airway wheels, a rainbow of compound colors etc. I watched videos on youtube for hours. But I could never, ever get it to polish up correctly. I gave up on the airway buffs and decided to use California Custom instead.
