Metal polishing difference between 3,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm with Evan's Detailing and Polishing

Admin October 17, 2019

Evan from Evan's detailing and polishing and Casey from Casey's Detailing and Polishing break down the difference in polishing with a 3,000 rpm buffer and a 6,000 rpm grinder. As you will see in the video the 3,000 rpm buffer takes longer to build up heat and and get the shine to lay down. With the 6,000 rpm grinder you can move much quicker and build heat much faster and get more done. Polishing at higher speed will also use less compound. Thus saving you time and money. But polishing with 6,000 rpm does have its risks. Polishing at that speed on aluminum can burn your aluminum if you move too slow or overheat an area by working it. 3,000 rpm is far more forgiving but does take more time and requires more materials to accomplish the same job. In the finish of the video you will see a slight difference in depth of the shine. The clarity and hashmarks are about the same level but the depth is a little better in the higher heat of the 6,000 rpm grinder. Thank you for watching. I hope you find these videos helpful. Of course remember that spinning at 3,000 rpm is much safer and softer buffs should never be spun faster than 2500 rpm.
