Hey Kevin.
Followed you over. I only do my own stuff. I'm no pro. As I run out of gear, I'm starting to explore renegade. I'm really enjoying exploring different products.
Safe travels!!!

Kevin have you done fuel wheels
What is that red thing you using I’m new too these stuff have no idea #7:57
@@LilChris6L_ are you referring to the red buffing wheel?
Oh yeah! This guy looks like he is hung well!
This isn’t that type of channel
@@RenegadeProductsUSA Just commenting that he appears nice there. Very nice studs.
Man do I have questions. I have never done any kind of polishing before, I am trying to buff some old, in bad shape, aluminum diamond plate boxes. After watching a bunch of videos, I bought an orange buff and a yellow buff, also a brown bar and a green bar, all from Maverick. I have a Milwaukie grinder, but I had no idea it was a 6k rpm and I am running it wide open. After watching this vid, I am running it to fast, especially for the yellow. How often do you add the bar? How much do you add? How much pressure do you put on the wheel? These boxes are only 16g, they get warm pretty quick. It seems that there is a lot of black residue on the back side of the diamonds, I think im using to much bar. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
@@getreel3515 if you’re a beginner then you should get a 3500 variable speed grinder. There is no quick learn to Polishing… it’s all about experience and technique. If you’re unhappy with your finished and get yourself a scrap piece of aluminum and practice on it until you get to where you want to be
@@getreel3515 as a beginner you should be using a variable speed DeWalt grinder or something like that. Use the orange buff at 3500, then the yellow buff at about 3000 as the secondary step. You’re not going to get a good finish at 6000 RPM especially if you’re beginner
I purchased your pontoon polish package. With Savage 180,320,400,600,800 grit sand discs. After the final step I noticed a lot of half moons/ swirl marks. I started with a dewalt 3500 rpm variable polisher with 180 and went up to 400 with it. Then used 600 and 800 with a Da. What do you recommend I go or change to avoid having swirl marks on the other pontoon?
You likely should have gone to the DA at 400 grit
or lower
Im polishing my kw t800 logging truck in bc here. Needs to look good. Youre talking to fast when you say what bar and whee youre using and for which step to use them.😊l@RenegadeProductsUSA
@@dylonwarren1008 yes Mr. Kevin definitely talks fast
What did you use to clean the sanding paper?
@@yoomama2331 it’s called a sanding eraser. It’s what it sounds like: a big eraser specifically for removing metal buildup on a disk for belt
So I’m trying to polish an aluminum tanker but I only have a polish pad and polish paste but it’s cloudy do I have to sand the whole thing or will buying a buffer wheel fix that?
@@croocrew2872 if you’re looking for a true mirror finish then you will need to sand to 800 grit before you polish
@@RenegadeProductsUSA is that with a pad and paste polish or with an airway wheel and compound
@@RenegadeProductsUSA and what the range to polish a 5000 gallon septic tank truck
@@croocrew2872 you can choose either method. The buffing wheels will give you a faster and brighter finish
@@croocrew2872 you do not need to sand to 5000 grit. the highest grit you will possibly need is 800 before you start Polishing
So what renegade wheels and bars do i need
@@dylonwarren1008 get the following bars: Q69 to cut with orange buff, wild berry bar with purple buff as a color, purple bar with flannel for final
What happened with Zephyr?
Kevin has blossomed
Zephyr is stuck in the past. They need to get innovative or they will disappear eventually
@@kdub2236 there’s definitely a new sheriff in town
Why not using the water while sanding?
Clogs up the sandpaper and makes the paper tear easier. You can clean dry sandpaper with a wooden paint stir stick when sanding aluminum, but only when dry
