E115 New Tool for Polishing Stainless Steel Trim! 1956 Chevy Bel Air Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2024
- Polishing stainless steel with a buffer and rouge is time consuming. In Episode 115, we test out a new tool from Eastwood, the Rockwell 2" mini DA sander, using 180, 320, 600, 800, 1500, 3000 and finally 5000 grit 3M Trizac pads to get the stainless ready for polishing with emery and white rouge on muslin cloth wheels. This might be the quickest way to get that mirror finish you're looking for!

Amazing! I would have NEVER had the courage to take sandpaper to stainless trim! And here it is. That is awesome! I might almost just jump to this step on mine due to my fascination on how well yours turned out. As always, thanks for sharing. There are going to be a lot more better looking cars and more people doing things themselves due to your generosity. Thank you Bill!
LOL! This is what being LAZY will get you... shortcuts! Thanks for the support!
Great stainless info, thanks for video!
Glad it was helpful!
Dedication! Interesting video. Sure is nice that these old cars had stainless on them instead of plain chrome.......or plastic! ;)
The Cutlass was really weird. There is a 3" wide trim piece that goes from front to back about a foot from the bottom, and the side marker lights are within them. By design, some of them were stainless and others were chromed pot metal.
Better than new!!
Well, close to better than new! LOL!
Wow like new fantastic
Just a few pieces down and several dozen to go... LOL!
looking good
Thanks!
Love the content great tips
Appreciate it! This whole idea of using this mini-DA and the expensive 5000 grit ceramic medium came from the fact that I'm LAZY! LOL!
That's why I'm glad I have a 150 model ... turned out great ... I got my little DA at harbor freight ... looks just like that ... I made a polyethyline flat disc with a velcro fused to it to stick on it when I want to use stick on paper for detail flat metal sanding ... also those gouges can be carefully hammered out using urathane hammer and dolly like the ones in dentless paint repair ... she's gonna be a butte when done ...
Of course you know I looked for this at Harbor Freight and was SURE that they would have it, but it escaped me. Did I miss it???

Night and day difference!
Polishing stainless is the most time consuming thing and requires more patience than I seem to have, but I tough it out!
Well Suzy home maker nece job😅😅. 5:42
Look, organization is not my skill set! LOL!
Any trim with repairs needed? Would like to see that.
There's a lot of them out there, but I'll see if I can do one for you!
any grit over 600 is a waste of time,the bufing compound does all the work after that
I've found that 1500 is near the edge of any return on labor. The bigger part is to be sure to cut out all the courser scratches when you do get to that point.
