Why waste the time with scotch pad, don't you make your own polishes and have different grades? This adds time onto the job and your finished surface really is not that good. Try using clean wool pads, forget your 'wet scrub" and just run higher rpm's with liquid home cooked polish... Better finish, saves time, and cost less...
nice work, but so much extra work...take a look at my videos, we use faster buffers, and its only a 2 step process, and we can get the acid burns out .
Nice job!! I use sand paper from 500-2500 wet, Its a lil more work but its comes out slick, then i jump on the buffer I apply with the 0000 steel wool just like he did, then I buff from 1000-1800RPM and then I finish up with a nice lint free soft cloth with a hand rub down, Some times it make me feel like im closer to the project LOL I know im a dork but men take pride in your work :)
Not bad good job, the way I do it I work my way up to 2500 wet sanding then I I apply the polish the same way wirth some 0000 steel wool, than I buff at 1000 RPM and go up to 1800 rpm, then I finish up with a nice lint free cloth and a hand polish,
I like to use the wet sanding method also as that is a faster method. I don't use sand paper. I use 3M Scotch Pads & Dawn Dish soap and water. I like using the red scotch pad (550 grit) first to remove the heavy oxidation and the follow up with the white scotch pad (900 grit).
You can easily remove the heavy oxidation in about 10-15 minutes on wheels and about 20 minutes on fuel tanks.
@phillgarr you wont get the same finish if you wet sand good luck getting any scratches out, i never wet sand and my tanks look way better than that. thats rookie mistakes. this guy doesnt even kno what he is talking about
Looks good for a 5 minute polish. Greaseless compounds and polishing wheels will get rid of the small scratches and leave more of a mirror, but for a rotary and polish, this product can't be beat. good job guys
nice work.....but of course everyone has their own way to do things....... I can get the same results with a buffer, and cutting wheels....and I find the using the wool pad makes it look good......but under florence lights at night....it makes it look like you just took an sos pad to them.....but looks great and did it under good time as well.....im impressed
I have learned more in 30 years of farming, wrenching, polishing, and trucking than most folks. I personalize my business in restoration of fuel tanks & rims, no matter how old or what shape. I also specialize in polishing all metals with 1 product. I invented my own formula that is both a nonabrasive formula of polishing compounds and also has a sealer in it.
You may have your own recipe for polish but I bet it infringes on the patent rights of a man named Parker. Good Luck in your ventures.
This is what i do to take the acid burns out of the tanks or any thing that is metal you take a terry cloth and you put it on your finger then with some polish put it on the tip of your finger and rub real hard thats how i get ther acid burns off...
there is no way you can get acid burns out by using your finger... Its embedded in the tank/wheel. After 10 trucks and 15 years of polishing.. I would give my right nut if it worked just by using my finger...
Yea I know for a fact you can not remove acid burning where it pitted the tank on a fuel tank that had never been polisghed and only hit with brightner for 1 million miles. We tried that technique you use but it still had the burning in the metal where the acid had been let dry. Good Luck Mr. Polisher.

Im wondering if you could wet sand the tanks and get the same results... you know wet sand it, then polish it.
