Looks awesome. Glad to see our products getting used in your shop. Truly appreciate you guys. Thanks for the plug and glad to see you liking the products.
Great video guys. Learned a lot. I'm newly experimenting with polishing mild steel to a mirror finish for plasma cut metal art using 180-3000 grits and then a fine wool 4" pad with compound/metal polish. I've tried dry and wet sanding and even coconut oil as a lubricant and high and low pressure on the sander. I can get the mirror finish but have those persistent pesky swirl marks using a short throw DA sander which seem to be deeper than the compound will handle. Any tips are appreciated.
When he talks about what direction to polish in to hide the scratches based on the direction you will look at it from, I believe he is referring to the direction his buffing wheel is turning. I went back twice and watched when he changed to the white wheel and he is moving the whole buffer "laterally" on the piece, but the wheel is turning from back to front. Then he goes to the chrome polish and states that you go in the direction you buffed it, and he moves the pad from back to front. Is this a correct assumption?
What is your advice on starting out with a 304 ss with 2B finish? Can you go straight to polishing also is there a proper break-in process for using new wheels? I'm using a bench grinder with wheel but keep getting small scratches. Any advice would be helpful....type if wheel etc
Very good how-to, polishing is a very dirty process and you will get dirty doing it, you should use proper powertools used for polishing as they generally run slower than those for cutting or grinding, for best results only polish in one direction, if not you risk putting more scratch's into the work piece, it is a labour intensive process and for best results don't rush it, take your time.

I love watching Peter work his magic. That said - that visor vendor should be ashamed. How did that piece leave their shop?
Evan also has a great UA-cam channel with videos teaching his teqhniques
Shoot I wish I could hit up the truck show
Boss got me a new truck lots of Polished Aluminum. But it's a steel mill dump truck. What gets quick lime off. It sets up like concrete.
I see you used the yellow with the stainless compound. Is that the yellow buff that the second step yellow buff?
Start with the yellow buff, then move to the white buff and finish with chrome polish applying with a microfiber cloth by hand.
I decided on the medium cut/color buff for this job because we were not doing any sanding. Just wanted a good medium blend cut.
It's got to have a shiney hiney for me
what's the square footage of that shop? it looks sweet!
Great job on polished visor, but I’m curious about that black and green Pete in the shop?
Stay tuned 😎
So with the blue buff and black block after that always use the white buff and the white black as like a polisher?
One thing you left out what speed is he running buffer at so it doesn't burn or discolor the stainless
Says it at the beginning. 3000rpm to cut and 1800 rpm to color

Starting out with 304 finish with 2B finish? You make no sense!
