18 Piece Polishing Kit review
This 18-piece polishing kit from Machine Mart is just what you need if trying to buff or polish tarnished metals of all types – and even plastics!
Polishing metal or plastic parts on your bike may not be something you do every week, but when the need arises how often have you wished you had a comprehensive kit of buffing wheels and dedicated compounds to do the job right?
Well, thanks to Machine Mart, who offer this kit of attachments, mops, buffing wheels and compounds to be used with a power drill, now you can – and all for a very reasonable £27.59.
The kit contains 18 different items to cover nearly every eventuality, is designed to be used on most plastics, aluminium, steel, stainless steel and brass and is compatible with any power drill that takes an approximately 6mm shank.
There are: three different buffing wheels in sizes 50, 75 and 100mm; four polishing buffs (two 50mm and two 100mm) plus five different wood-mounted polishing points for those awkward areas (in ball, cone, tapered round, round and bullet shapes).
While on top of that the kit also comes with six different, colour-coded, polishing compounds which are suitable for use on different materials or at different stages of the polishing process.
From left to right in the picture, white is for use with stainless steel, red for gold or silver, green is for other soft metals, brown is for alloys, blue is for working with plastic or copper and black is for use during the first polishing stage.
In short, as long as you’ve a decent mains suitable power drill, there’s everything you need for doing a great polishing job of virtually any component, motorcycle or otherwise, in any material.
You don’t just have to take our word for it, either, as the 18-piece polishing kit has also received unanimously glowing reviews on Machine Mart’s own website. These include:
Richard: “Good value, used it to polish brass on veteran cars, does a great job and saves time and elbow grease!”
Willie: “Excellent product, good selection of buffing pads, would recommend these pads.”
