Mothers Mag is Mag-nificent ✨✨✨✨✨ 😊 With a dash of determination and a large dose of elbow grease, the aluminum hood on this PN2 was brought back to life 😊
If anyone has other ideas or suggestions on the best buffing method to employ please let me know. Thanks all!

Depends
If your talking about using a bench buffer. It's like a bench grinder with buffing wheels.
You get a buffer rake. Get compounds red brown green white and I've heard people using it but I never have. Get some cotton gloves. Go to an area you can get dirty. You use one compound use isopropyl alcohol clean it then do the next compound. Between using different compounds use a rake to clean compound off the wheel it will leave black marks. You can get a drill attachment and do the same thing. I'll post a couple pics of what I'm talking about. www.amazon.com/dp/B079X52...

That PN2 looks gorgeous! Mothers is wonderful stuff. Go to the hardware store and get a buffing attachment for your drill. I got one at Home Depot last fall for about $10. Rub Mothers onto the metal with a soft cloth or a paper towel, let it dry to a haze, then buff it off with the drill attachment. Wipe down with a cloth and repeat.

Looks like you buffed the top of the 1205 as well. I always hated how the tops of the 1205ks would tarnish. A photo of that 1205 in all its polished glory please?! Jon | ||

Doh
Keither
I thought you mean using a buffer. You apply mothers polish to the metal. Rob uses Viva paper towels, I use microfiber towels or I use Scott's blue colored paper towels. You apply to one area. You ruin it in circular motion. It will get a little hazy. Then the polish will become black. Once its black you use a unused part of towel to remove polish. If it's not shiny enough repeat until shine is acquired. I'm surprised you asked about buffing. Have you seen your vacuums. There always look very pretty. If you want to shine plastic trim use black magic it's like armor all. It is red bottle with black trigger. Les | ||

Clear spray to preserve the shine up work? Has anyone tried spraying the clear spray paint to preserve a freshly polished aluminum piece? If so, how well does it work? Is it durable or something that isn’t advised. Jon | ||

I use
I buffed my 3c with only mothers
Mag and my 505 nozzle. They were prepped and my 9 inch 18lb 12 amp polisher on 3600 RPMs made very quick work. It's not put back together. The reason it's with the other vacuum is to ensure its put together correctly. That takes a Little time but I have something shiny finally. The last pic I have a worx bench and I clamped parts too it. 2700 feet a minute. That makes it very fastets use my brain not my calculator to show to people I'm kind of smart. 3600 RPM x .75 is 2700 feet in one minute. 27000 is the amount in ten minutes. Times that number by 1.5 is 13500+27000 40500 in 15 minutes and you times that by 4. 2000 plus 160000 is 162200 mph. I'm going to dive it by _ which I already have the number 40500 mph. You have a wheel roughly 40500 mph. That's slot of energy. Basically it's very dangerous. I clamped them down and I have big hands I'm very strong and can hold and keep polisher on it. I had a tradition nozzle on 2700 rpm I believe 2700 rpm. It flinged it 50 feet In the air. Yes I have a little bit of crazy to me too. If you look at that(3 notch nozzle hole is original 505 emtor that takes a belt cap. You like the embroidered bags I had them made to exactly like original except you don't loose screen print. I have many talents here is an example of my pushing and creativity. I have a bunch of not fully assembled vacs polished but not together. I didn't mean to hijack showing Keefer my shiny vacuums. The Kirby is 1939 fyi. Les | ||
