It could mess up the leather and it does not leave a satisfactory finish in my opinion.

Down with powered wire brushes for armouring.
Hal holds up big anti wire wheel protest sign.

The crowd chants: No more wire wheel brushes.
No more wire wheel brushes.
No more wire wheel brushes.

Get the rope.


Up with flap wheels?

My munitions finish is achieved with a soft 320 bench mounted motor flap wheel 2" by 6" is my favorite.
A little pricey... but worth it.
I think I have showed you the Mc Master part numbers before.

I do not cloth buff, I go right to the scrubby pads and oil.
This gives me the opportunity to blend everything together.

Be aware of your scrubby pad strokes.
This reflects the light in a controlled manner.
