Renegade Products are killing the game right now! So beyond impressed with these products have been a die hard zephyr guy for a while and in the past few months have been using more your these products and I’m blown away. As crazy as it is, I polish so much better with Renegade airways and compound, the one thing that has officially sold me is how well the white dommet and purple show shine bar performs, blows all other finish airways off the map. 100/10 going to buy more, ya’ll have my business for life!

Holy crap!! I came across this buff wheel style of polishing after being frustrated with the final finish of a copper boiler I was polishing using conventional foam polishing pads and liquid compound. I couldn’t get the ultra fine scratches out even using the finest grit polishing pads…. So I reached out to renegade products to explain my needs for a perfect mirror finish on Brass and copper. I was directed to use the white flannel 8” buff wheel with the purple polishing compound. I also purchased the recommended makita variable speed polisher. The results? AMAZING! By far the most impressive results I have been able to achieve and also way faster than other methods. After sanding up to 1200 grit all I had to do was buff with the flannel wheel and purple compound to achieve the final results shown in the photo. The buff wheels even work around the tiny brass and copper fixtures where I previously used a dremel tool. Extremely satisfied, this will be my permanent polishing method going forward.

Wheels worked great! This is my first time buffing a tank and I’d say the results were near perfect. I’ve had previous jobs with power equipment and I am a quick learner however Renegade made this process so much simpler. Great prices too! Definitely purchasing again

These pieces of trim were damn near ruined and looked like someone to a grinder to them. Some sanding followed by the red wheel with black compound brought the trim back to life. I followed with the pink wheel and yellow compound to top it off. These products are outstanding.

Product description
Airway Buffing Wheels For Metal Polishing
Our Airway Buffing Wheels are expertly crafted using various mill treatments and fabric construction methods to offer wheels with distinct stiffness levels, catering to the specific needs of different metals. Whether you're working with aluminum, stainless steel, or other metals, our range provides exceptional results.
Tailored Buffing Wheels for Different Metals
Orange and Yellow Wheels: These are meticulously designed for polishing aluminum, delivering impeccable results.
Red and Pink Treatments: Specifically formulated for stainless steel, these buffing wheels ensure a brilliant shine.
UBM and Flannel Wheels: Engineered for the final finish, these versatile wheels can be used for both aluminum and stainless steel, leaving a flawless surface.
You use the edge of the buffing wheel to polish?
Yes! Edge buffing is a technique commonly used in conjunction with an angle grinder, a buffing wheel, and compound. Achieve a shiny, polished edge effortlessly.
Choosing the Right Size Buffing Wheel for Your Project
Selecting the appropriate buffing wheel size is crucial. We recommend the 9" Airway Buffing Wheel for most applications. It offers a perfect balance between maneuverability and wheel longevity.
If you require more detailed work, try an 8" wheel. Larger sizes like 10" and 12" are typically reserved for professionals. Some users prefer 10" buffs and wear them down to 8" or 9" for detailed use.
Precise Wheel and Compound Pairings for Effective Polishing
To polish aluminum, start with our Brown Tripoli Compound and Orange Airway Buffing Wheel at 3,000–3,500 RPM. Follow with Yellow Buff and Green Rouge at 2,500–3,000 RPM.
For stainless steel, start with the Red Airway Buffing Wheel and Black Magic Compound. Then follow with the Pink Buffing Wheel and Yellow Deluxe Compound.
For a show-quality finish, use a Domet Flannel or UBM buff with our Blue Rouge Compound. Keep RPMs below 2,200 for best results.
Buffing Wheel Speed Safety
IMPORTANT: Our Airway Buffing Wheels are rated for a MAXIMUM SPEED OF 3,500 RPMs.
How to Polish Aluminum Wheels
Pair the right polishing compound with a smaller diameter buffing wheel to get into tight spots. Use aluminum compounds for aluminum, and steel-specific compounds for stainless wheels.
Pro Tip: Always Rake Your Buffing Wheels
Raking removes hardened and burned compound from the edge of your buffing wheel. This prevents rough buffing and improves polishing performance.
How to Use a Buffing Wheel Rake
Hold the rake securely against the spinning buffing wheel. On a grinder, hold the rake to the ground with your foot and move the angle grinder across it carefully.
Best Polishers/Grinders for These Wheels
·MAKITA 9237C – Best 3,500 RPM polisher for beginners and pros
·MAKITA GA7021 – Best 6,000 RPM machine for professional use
Recommended Safety Gear
We HIGHLY recommend a full-face respirator mask. This provides vital protection during metal polishing and buffing sessions.
Polishing Speed Guidelines
·Cut Stage (3,000–3,500 RPM): Aluminum: Orange Buff + Brown Tripoli Steel: Red Buff + Black Magic
·Color Stage (2,200–2,800 RPM): Aluminum: Yellow Buff + Green Rouge Steel: Pink Buff + Yellow Deluxe Optional: Purple Buff + Blue/White Compound
·Finish Stage (1,800–2,200 RPM): Flannel or UBM Buff + Competition Purple Compound

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Airway Buffing Wheels from Renegade Products—how they’re constructed, how to choose and use them for metal polishing (especially aluminum & stainless steel), and key tips based on your interest in high-end metal finishing. ⸻ ✅ What they are & construction 	•	These buffing wheels are designed for metal polishing—specifically for tasks like polishing wheels, tanks, trim, etc. over aluminum, stainless steel and other metals.   	•	They’re manufactured in the U.S. (Anaheim, CA) using various mill treatments and fabric construction methods to produce wheels of differing stiffness levels tailored to different metals.   	•	Multiple sizes: available in 8”, 9”, 10” (and larger for big-rig or machine applications) wheels, and also smaller “mini” versions (6”) for detail/angle‐grinder work.   	•	There are different “color‐coded” treatments tied to specific uses. From the Renegade website: 	•	Orange & Yellow treatments → aluminium polishing.   	•	Red & Pink treatments → stainless steel polishing.   	•	UBM and Flannel wheels → final finish, for either aluminium or stainless.   	•	Maximum safe speed: These wheels are rated for up to 3,500 RPM.   	•	Important safety & mounting note: they should always be mounted with a set of safety flanges to reinforce the center.  @Renega@Renegade Products USA

An airway buffing wheel is a type of buffing wheel designed for polishing and finishing metals. What makes it unique is its ventilated, pleated design: 	•	Construction: It’s made of cotton cloth sheets that are pleated and separated by spacers. These “airways” allow air to flow through the wheel as it spins. 	•	Cooling: That airflow helps keep both the wheel and the workpiece cooler during polishing—important when working with aluminum, stainless steel, brass, or other metals that can heat up quickly. 	•	Performance: Airway buffs cut faster and run cooler than solid buffing wheels. They’re especially popular in automotive, metal finishing, and fabrication because they can handle large surfaces efficiently. 	•	Variety: They come in different treatments (like untreated cotton, treated cotton, or specialty finishes such as satin, purple treated, etc.) depending on whether you need heavy cutting, coloring, or a final high-gloss finish. 	•	Usage: Typically run on a stationary buffer or right-angle grinder, using bar compounds (Tripoli, rouge, etc.) or liquid metal polishes. Recommended RPMs often fall between 1,800 and 3,600 RPM, depending on size and material. 👉 Think of them as the go-to professional metal polishing wheels when you want faster cut, cooler operation, and higher efficiency compared to sewn or sisal buffs. @Renegade Products USA

How do you polish cast aluminum to a mirror finish? We started by prepping and sanding this cast aluminum wheel up to 600 grit using our white sanding discs. Then paired our T121 fast cut Metal Polishing Tripoli with a stiff airway buffing wheel to remove and take down the prep lines effectively and efficiently. The secondary stage involve the use of our true green high chromium oxide Metal Polishing rouge along with a midrange airway Buff. This took out the lines from the primary cut Buff stage. Finally we took our mirror shine airway buffing wheel, using a pumice stone to rake the outside edge so that it does not leave too many loose fibers , and then paired it with our blue rouge  (not the blueberry ). We ran this at a very low RPM and the result is an incredible high luster shine. @Clean Culture MDS

Replying to @michael The Mirror Shine Airway Buff from Renegade Products is a high-performance buffing wheel specifically engineered for the final finishing stage of metal polishing. It is designed to produce a deep, reflective, "mirror-like" finish on both aluminum and stainless steel surfaces. Key Features and Usage • Final Stage Polishing: This wheel is intended for the third and final step of the polishing process. It is softer than "cutting" or "coloring" wheels, making it ideal for removing fine hazy lines and maximizing clarity. • Versatility: It is effective on multiple metal types, including aluminum and stainless steel, commonly used on truck tanks, wheels, and marine hardware. • Recommended Pairing: For the best results, it is typically used with a high-luster finishing compound, such as the Competition Purple or Blue Rouge compound bars. • Operational Speed: To avoid burning the metal or damaging the wheel fibers, it is recommended to run this buff at a lower speed, typically between 1,800 and 2,200 RPM. @Clean Culture MDS

A yellow airway buffing wheel is a medium-cut, medium-firm cloth airway wheel used in metal polishing—especially for aluminum, stainless steel, and chrome. It sits right between a White (soft/final-finish) and Orange or Red (aggressive) wheel. What a Yellow Airway Wheel Is 	•	Material: Treated cotton (stiffer than white; softer than red/orange). 	•	Cut Level: Medium cut. Strong enough to remove haze, light scratches, and leftover sanding marks after your initial heavy-cut step. 	•	Finish Level: Leaves a brighter, cleaner shine than red/orange but not as glossy as white or satin. 	•	Airway design: Pleated cloth with center plates—allows airflow so the wheel runs cooler at high RPMs. A yellow wheel is the “bridge step.” Use it AFTER your heavy cut (like a red or orange wheel with Tripoli/heavy-cut compound), and BEFORE your final finish (white, satin, or flannel with a finishing rouge). Typical 2–3 step workflow: 	1.	Step 1 – Heavy Cut: Orange/Red Airway + Tripoli / Wild Cherry / T121 Tripoli (Renegade) 	2.	**Step 2 – Intermediate Cut/Color: Yellow Airway + Cut & Color compound like: 	•	Q36 	•	Yellow Deluxe 	•	Wild Cherry (if you want a faster color stage) 	3.	Step 3 – Final Finish: White, Satin, or Flannel Airway + Competition Purple / Blue Rouge This step knocks down haze, evens the shine, and preps the metal for a mirror polish. What Metals It’s Best For 	•	Aluminum (polishers use it a LOT for tanks and wheels) 	•	Stainless steel (mid-stage refinement) 	•	Copper & brass (after an aggressive first cut) #tiktokshopblackfriday #tiktokshopcybermonday @Renegade Products USA

Surface Prep Buff and Blend Discs should be used for moderate surface cleaning and deburring (smoothing) before polishing. Constructed of abrasive infused nylon webbing that is compressed to allow for a fast and effective removal of tarnish rust and other buildup on the underlying metal with ease.  After surface preparation, one may choose to follow up with sanding at 320 Grit to remove any remnants left behind by the disc. For a final polish, follow up with fine-grit Sanding Disc, then use the Tripoli compound and an Airway Buffing Whee on aluminum or black magic with a red airway for stainless steel metal finishing. The discs are 1 and 2-ply to help reduce lines while preparing metal. Each ply is epoxied together to prevent flaring through the life of the surface preparation buffing and blending disc.
