Had no probs in the past and now the parts just won't buff like they should. Took off the old wheel and put on a new one, no change.
Changed speeds from too high, medium, too slow. It works on too slow but the part still gets coated with the compound wax and doesn't do much. All these parts are full of sharp edges and wondering if thats what the prob is? Gauge bezels are finned and the fuel plate has many lighting holes in it that have to be crossed.
10" siskal wheel with pink compound for the roughing stage. Did the fuel system plate and did get somewhere but it isn't taking the tiny ridge from the holes. Lots and lots of lighting holes. In the past buffing ridges like this took it right down. Now this is turning into a chore. I buffed the entire peice and washed it off. Almost no change. Thats when I changed the wheel and speed to low and did get somewhere but this is taking far too long. Lots of items and have to go through the stages.
The wheel is turning black very quickly and using a rake does little. If I constantly apply compound it does work but we're talking like a dollar bill size or less!
Any Ideas. Would like to paint this stuff today- tomarrow.
5 gauge bezels, battery hold down stuff, fuel system plate, pin cleats, bow lights shifter plate-levers-handles, helm bezel, glove box door, fuel tank fitting & God knows what else is in the box.:confused:
