How do you eliminate or clean black gunk when polishing on buffing wheel? I get them all the time, and it’s annoying and hard to remove. Thanks

If you notice in the video I use the tip of a scrap metal edge to separate the plies of the buffing wheel, this will remove all the baked on compound and renew the wheel

I purchased green color bar for stainless steel Its bit dry, Shall I add water or use as it is ?

Its supposed to be dry, you need to hold it firmly (don't put a lot of pressure) against the spinning wheel for a few seconds, the heat generated from the friction should sufficient to soften it and apply it to the wheel, you only need a light film, do not overload or you will ruin your wheel, its best to reapply the compound frequently. An alternative way, is to use a heat gun and heat the metal surface, apply the compound at the hot surface, then on the wheel to get a good even coverage

What do you do when the compound has gone rock hard after just one use when you next use it? Even though it was in an air tight contain? I can't find any info on this anywhere. The sticks I bought just won't go onto the wheel now, no matter how hard or long I press. I even heated it up with a blow torch but it just burned it and it set hard again

@@maxpolaris99 Since I made this comment, I tried using it again on a cold day and it suddenly did what it was meant to. I put it on the wheel and saw the wheel change colour for the first time and was buffing like a sonofabitch. Have no idea why they wouldn't work in summer but they worked when it was only 10 degrees.

The compound is supposed to be solid, you can apply it to the wheel while its turning, hold it firmly for a few seconds but dont apply pressure, the heat generated from the friction should allow the compound to be applied to the wheel, no matter how hard it gets. Also, don't use a blow torch, use a hair drier on low, it will melt it down enough to be more malleable if you prefer Good luck!

How do you clean the bar or tube of the compound abrasive itself? Mine eventually gets black and it seems I'm just moving dirt back and forth - bar of No5 compound to wheel to metal and back again

Get a scarp metal edge and try to separate the plies while the wheel is running, the hardened black edge will be removed and the wheel will be renewed. Even if the color is still dark, The wheel will still work as new as long as you remove the baked on compound with the help of a metal scraper, a serrated edge will work even better!
