Polishing

Buffing out aluminum, or any metal for that matter, involves smoothing out the irregular surfaces of the metal itself. While an aluminum wheel may feel smooth, the surface is actually quite rough when it comes to reflecting light. Under a microscope, a dull or pitted aluminum wheel would look sort of Jagged, Edgy, and or Rough. When light hits these rough surfaces, it diffuses and dissipates. The wheel appears dull because the light stops at the surface. A polished aluminum surface under a microscope looks a little bumpy, but mostly smooth and flat. When light hits a mostly flat surface, it has nowhere to go but right back, hence the shine.

The best way to smooth out the peaks and valleys of aluminum is to use a series of buffing wheels and compounds. The spinning material of the buffing wheel works in conjunction with the abrasive material in the buffing compounds to smooth out the aluminum. The steps are key. Each buffing wheel and compound must be used correctly and in sequence. Stiff buffing wheels with coarser compounds work into softer wheels and compounds with less of a bite. As important as the wheels and compounds is the buffing technique.
