OK, de-boxed the new buffing machine and did a test on part of one brake. Not much of a photo, but the arm on the left of the photo I did, the one on the right left alone for comparison purposes. I did a couple of minutes with "tripoli" and then a couple of minutes with "red rouge". Comments? I have no idea how much polish to use on the buffing wheels, etc. I person, I think the one arm looks good although I doubt any amount of buffing will take out almost 60 years of gouges, etc. I also did the bridge but it does not look as good in my opinion. Should I use the "Blue Magic" after the rouge, or not? Or alternatively a coat of wax?
