Osborn - Primary/Heavy Cut Airway Buffs Buffing wheels designed and constructed for cut-down operations on metal.
To achieve a beautiful mirror finish, metal (like any material) needs to be prepared by cutting down the surface to remove highs and lows. Deep scratches diffuse light and reduce your clarity; cut them out with coarse cutting compounds and firm buffing wheels that enhance the cut-down effect! Spectrum recommends combining these buffs with Menzerna's 439T 456G 113GZ
Please note that Osborn's new wide-teeth clinch rings do NOT hold up at 6k RPM on 10" buffing wheels - no buffing wheel is rated for these speeds. Older style clinch rings with more, narrower teeth appear to be a little stronger and while we occasionally receive these depending on the machine they are produced on, we cannot request them exclusively. We run 12" x 5" buffs almost exclusively and have not had a single blow-out in our shop with these buffs at 6k.

Osborn - Secondary Cut/Colour Airway Buffs Semi-firm buffs for cut & colour buffing.
Many polishers subscribe to a two-step polishing process, but this is how maximum depth, colour, and clarity are achieved. By utilizing these secondary cut/colouring buffs (combined with medium cut & finishing compounds), you can more efficiently removing heavy-cut scratches from your surface and put colour into the metal before completing that "wet" look with finishing buffs and Super Finish compounds. Spectrum recommends combining these buffs with Menzerna's P14F P164 333 P275 495P, P126 480W 480BLF
