Just received the items yesterday — the packaging looked very good. I tried them today, and they work great. This is my first time polishing aluminum to a mirror finish, and I’m really impressed with the quality of the material. This product would be even better if there were an option for worldwide shipping.

After I used it a few times, the bolts decided to come loose without me fully knowing just from vibration, and then it proceeded to shoot across the area i was working in. I still recommend it it’s a very good take.

I saw a video of a one step polish , I have a Hino box truck. I polished both tanks and the box corners. It came out nice . Without cleaning or sanding them first . But this just got me to want more . So next order will be for more then a one step . The how too videos are a big help for learning what I need and how to go about it 👍

Product description
Buffing Wheel Rake for Metal Polishing
The Buffing Wheel Rake is an essential maintenance tool for anyone using Airway Buffing Wheels. Over time, spent metal polishing compound can build up and harden on the edges of your buffing wheels, reducing their effectiveness. This durable rake is designed to quickly and safely remove that buildup, restoring the wheel’s surface for optimal performance.
Product Features:
•Restores Performance: Removes hardened metal polishing compound from the edge of your Airway Buffing Wheel to keep it cutting and polishing effectively.
•Extends Wheel Life: Maintains the softness and integrity of the buffing wheel's edge, reducing premature wear.
•Works with Multiple Machines: Ideal for use on bench grinders, lathes, or angle grinders during metal polishing.
•Secure & Safe Use: Designed to be held securely against a spinning wheel; when used with an angle grinder, it can be anchored to the ground with your feet for better control.
•Easy to Identify When Needed: If you notice reduced dust output or a silvery shine on the wheel's edge, it’s time to rake and reapply compound.
Weight: 1.5lbs.
How to Use:
Ensure your buffing wheel is spinning at its regular speed. Hold the rake firmly against a stationary bench grinder or lathe-mounted wheel. For angle grinders, place the rake on the ground and stabilize it with your feet while holding the grinder firmly in place. Gently press the rake against the edge of the wheel to remove the compound buildup.
Regularly using the Buffing Wheel Rake ensures your Airway Buffing Wheels deliver consistent, high-quality polishing results every time.

A buffing wheel rake is a tool used to clean, dress, and maintain buffing wheels so they work efficiently and give a consistent finish. Think of it like a “comb and cleaner” for your buffing wheel — it removes hardened polishing compound, metal particles, and embedded debris, and it can also help reshape the wheel’s surface. ⸻ What It Looks Like 	•	Usually has a metal handle with a head made of hardened steel teeth (sometimes tungsten carbide). 	•	The teeth are arranged like a coarse file or rake. 	•	Some have a long handle for bench grinders; others are short, handheld designs. ⸻ Why You Use It Over time, buffing wheels: 	•	Clog with dried compound and metal particles. 	•	Glaze over, losing their “bite.” 	•	Get out of shape (uneven surface). A buffing wheel rake: 	1.	Cleans – removes gunk so fresh compound can stick. 	2.	Dresses – fluffs and opens up fibers for better cutting. 	3.	Shapes – makes the wheel face even again. ⸻ How to Use It (Bench Grinder / Polishing Motor) 	1.	Safety first 	•	Wear safety glasses, gloves, and preferably a dust mask. 	•	Make sure the buffing wheel is spinning at normal operating speed. 	2.	Hold the rake firmly 	•	Grip the handle with both hands. 	•	Stand slightly to the side (never directly in line with the wheel in case debris flies). 	3.	Apply to the wheel’s face 	•	Press the rake lightly against the lower quadrant of the spinning wheel (so debris is thrown downward). 	•	Use steady pressure—too much force can damage the wheel or motor. 	4.	Move side-to-side 	•	Sweep the rake across the wheel face evenly. 	•	This ensures the whole surface is cleaned and evened out. 	5.	Stop when the fibers look fresh 	•	The wheel will look “fluffier” and free of shiny glazed spots. 	•	Now it’s ready for a fresh charge of polishing compound. ⸻ 💡 Pro Tip: Rake the wheel every time you change to a different polishing compound. That way, you won’t contaminate fine polishing stages with coarser abrasives. #metalpolishing #metalpolisher #tiktokbacktoschool #trucking #detailing #detailingworld #trucker

A buffing wheel rake is a tool used to clean, refresh, and shape buffing wheels—especially airway wheels—so they cut and polish properly. What It Does A buffing wheel rake: 	•	Removes loaded compound (buildup) from the face of the wheel 	•	Fluffs and re-conditions the material so the wheel cuts better 	•	Prevents streaks, burns, and chatter marks caused by a clogged wheel 	•	Helps “true” the wheel so it spins evenly 	•	Exposes fresh fibers for a cleaner, faster, more consistent finish How It Looks Most rakes have: 	•	A metal body (often cast) 	•	A row of sharp steel teeth 	•	A wooden or metal handle 	•	Some use replaceable steel file blades (like the Renegade one) When You Use It You rake the wheel: 	•	Before you apply new compound 	•	Whenever the wheel feels slick or glazed over 	•	If it’s not cutting like before 	•	When switching compounds to avoid cross-contamination 	•	After a few minutes of polishing on aluminum or stainless. How to Use It (Quick Guide) 	1.	Spin the wheel on your buffer around 3,000–3,600 RPM 	2.	Hold the rake firmly against the lower part of the wheel on the stand, never in your lap 	3.	Let the teeth bite into the wheel lightly—don’t jam it 	4.	Rake left to right for a few seconds 	5.	Apply new compound afterward.

A buffing wheel rake is a tool used to clean, condition, and reshape buffing wheels during metal polishing. Purpose 	•	Removes built-up compound: Buffing wheels can get clogged with dried polishing compound, which reduces effectiveness. A rake scrapes off the hardened residue. 	•	Exposes fresh fibers: By cleaning the surface, it reopens the cloth or sisal fibers so the wheel cuts and polishes efficiently. 	•	Reshapes the wheel: Over time, buffing wheels can become uneven or glazed. Raking evens out the face, ensuring smooth, consistent contact with the metal. Design 	•	Typically has a wooden or metal handle with a row of hardened steel teeth or a spiked steel head. 	•	Some are mounted on handles like a file, while others come as foot-pedal operated rakes for use with larger airway buffing wheels. Usage 	•	Hold the rake firmly against the spinning buffing wheel (always at operating speed). 	•	Apply steady pressure to scrape away caked compound and fluff the wheel’s fibers. 	•	Should be used regularly during polishing to maintain wheel performance and achieve a uniform finish. #tiktokshoplabordaysale @Renegade Products USA @AlmostChrome

Replying to @Marc_antrax A buffing wheel rake is a specialized tool used to maintain and clean the wheels (mops) used in the metal polishing process. It typically consists of a handle with several rows of heavy-duty, jagged metal teeth.   Think of it as a "comb" for your polishing wheel. Without it, the wheel eventually becomes clogged, hardened, and ineffective.   Why is it used? As you polish metal, two things happen to your buffing wheel: • Compound Buildup: The polishing compound (wax/abrasive) melts and accumulates on the wheel’s edge. Over time, this "spent" compound hardens into a crust.   • Contamination: Tiny particles of the metal you are polishing (like aluminum or steel) get trapped in the fibers. If not removed, these particles can actually scratch the surface you are trying to shine. Key Functions • Removing Spent Compound: It scrapes away the hardened "glaze" of old compound and metal dust.   • Fluffing the Fibers: It re-opens the "loft" or nap of the cloth. This makes the wheel soft again and allows it to hold fresh compound more effectively.   • Preventing "Hash Marks": By removing the crusty buildup, the rake prevents the wheel from becoming too abrasive, which helps you achieve a mirror-like finish without unwanted swirls or scratches. How to Use It Safely 1. Spin the Wheel: The buffing wheel must be spinning at its normal operating speed (on a bench grinder, lathe, or angle grinder).   2. Apply Pressure: Hold the rake firmly with both hands (or secure it to the ground with your feet if using a handheld grinder) and gently press the teeth against the spinning edge of the wheel. 3. Work Across the Face: Move the rake back and forth until the wheel looks "fluffy" and the dark, hardened compound is gone. When to Rake You should rake your wheel when: • The wheel feels hard or "crusty" to the touch. • You notice a "silver-ish" shine or glaze on the edge of the buff.   • The wheel is smearing compound on the metal rather than polishing it. • You are switching to a finer grade of polishing compound. @Renegade Products USA @Polish hub

A buffing wheel rake is an essential tool used in the removal of excess and spent Metal Polishing Compound from the edge of your Airway Buffing Wheels. Over time, this Metal Polishing Compound can harden and become firmly attached to the Airway Buffing Wheel's edge, impairing its effectiveness. The buffing wheel rake comes to the rescue by efficiently removing this compound buildup. It is important to maintaining the performance and longevity of your Airway Buffing Wheel whether it's in action on a lathe, bench grinder, or an angle grinder.  How should a buffing wheel rake be used? Ensure that your buffing wheel is spinning at its regular speed, and secure the rake firmly when positioned against a stationary bench grinder or lathe. When using with an angle grinder, exercise extra caution while raking, as it is possible for one to accidentally let go of both the grinder and rake. We recommend using your feet to anchor the rake to the ground while holding the angle grinder securely against the rake. This approach effectively removes Metal Polishing Compound buildup and softens the Airway Buffing Wheel's edges without compromising its integrity. How do I know When to Use a Buffing Wheel Rake? The need to rake your Airway Buffing Wheel arises when an excess of Metal Polishing Compound accumulates on the Airway Buffing Wheel.  If you detect a noticeable reduction in the amount of residual aluminum dust collecting around the metal surface during buffing, it's time to reach for the rake. The appearance of a silver-ish shine on the edge of your Airway Buffing Wheel is also an indication that it is time to rake. After raking the buffing wheel, a small application of fresh Metal Polishing Compound will restore its optimal performance.  Incorporate the buffing wheel rake into your metal polishing routine to maintain the peak performance of your Airway Buffing Wheel, ensuring consistently outstanding results with every use. #tiktokfalldealsforyou @AlmostChrome
