18-inch Pink Wavy Cotton Cloth Mill-Treated Airway Buff, suitable for polishing automotive alloy wheels
18-Inch Pink Wavy Airway Buff for Pre-Mirror Wheel Finishing is positioned for fine refinement and pre-mirror brightening after yellow medium polishing.
It uses low-firmness pink treated cotton cloth in multi-layer cotton cloth formed into corrugated pleats and open airways around a center plate.
It is intended for high-gloss wheel refinishers, mirror-wheel manufacturers and precision metal-finishing shops, working mainly on mirror-finish aluminum wheels and high-gloss stainless-steel wheels.
Selection value: A pre-mirror bridge between yellow medium polishing and white final finishing, targeting hairline marks, haze and intricate wheel contours.
• Size / model: 18 in / approximately 457 mm; confirm face width, bore and flange dimensions for the customer’s machine.
• Material & construction: low-firmness pink treated cotton cloth; multi-layer cotton cloth formed into corrugated pleats and open airways around a center plate.
• Manufacturing: mill-treated cotton is combined with corrugated air channels to improve cooling and maintain broad working coverage during continuous buffing.
• Performance / process stage: fine refinement and pre-mirror brightening after yellow medium polishing. Recommended pairing: use a fine finishing compound matched to the metal; follow with a white soft buff for the highest final gloss.
• Surface fit: broad wheel rims, spokes and gentle recesses on automotive wheels; control the contact angle on intricate details. Operating tip: use only on leveled semi-finished surfaces, with light pressure around spokes, grooves and recesses while keeping the part moving.
• Suitable materials: mirror-finish aluminum wheels and high-gloss stainless-steel wheels.
• Supply options: Samples and wholesale orders are available. Diameter, face width, ply/pleat construction, center plate and bore can be discussed for customization. Neutral packaging, custom logos, MOQ and OEM/ODM service are subject to the formal quotation.

How to Use
1. Inspect the wheel, center plate and cloth layers. Confirm the 18 in / approximately 457 mm diameter, actual face width, bore and rated speed against the machine.
2. Mount with the correct flanges and guarding. During the no-load test, stand clear of the plane of rotation and stop immediately for wobble, abnormal vibration or damage.
3. Dedicate wheels to different metals and compounds where possible. use a fine finishing compound matched to the metal; follow with a white soft buff for the highest final gloss.
4. Operating technique: use only on leveled semi-finished surfaces, with light pressure around spokes, grooves and recesses while keeping the part moving.
5. Maintain overlapping passes and control heat. Do not substitute excessive pressure for correct preparation or the correct compound.
6. Wear suitable eye/face protection, gloves and work clothing, and provide effective local dust extraction. Clean or dress the face after shutdown; do not reuse a damp, loose or damaged wheel.
