Key Benefits
- Maverick: Red/Pink Airway Buffing Wheel: Our "Maverick" Airway Buffing Wheel is constructed using an extra-stiff Red mill treat cotton cloth and a semi-stiff Pink mill treat cotton cloth. It boasts a robust 20-ply construction and is most appropriate for the "cutting" stage on both aluminum and stainless steel. This particular Airway Buffing Wheel should be run at approximately 3,500 RPM and used with cutting compounds such as our T88 or T121 Tripoli Bars, our Q36 Illudium cut-and-color bar, or our new Wild Berry and Wild Cherry Pink Compounds. Its primary function as a "cutting" buff is backed up by an added measure of finishing properties to allow for a broader spectrum of metal finishing.

It employs a 16-ply #2 construction (which adds density to the wheel) and is most appropriate for the "color" stage on both aluminum and stainless steel. This particular Airway Buffing Wheel should be run at approximately 2,500-3,000 RPM and used with color compounds such as our Green Tripoli or Yellow Deluxe Polishing Compounds.

- Hollywood: UBM + UBM Airway Buffing Wheel: The Hollywood Airway Buffing wheel consists of a blend of fine and coarse Unbleached Muslin (UBM) to be used as a semi-finish buffing wheel on flatter, broader surfaces.
- Cyclone: Flannel + UBM Airway Buffing Wheel: Our Cyclone Airway Buffing Wheel is a blend of Unbleached Muslin UBM and soft Domet Flannel fabrics that work together to give you a high-level shine when paired with one of our finishing bars.
