Frequently asked questions

Which Renegade buffing wheel is for aluminum vs stainless?

Orange and Yellow Airway wheels are typically for aluminum, Red and Pink for stainless steel, and UBM and Flannel wheels are for a final finish on either metal. Renegade makes the wheels in the USA with different mill treatments for different stiffness.

What's the Renegade compound sequence on aluminum?

T-88 Tripoli is the first cutting step on aluminum, paired with the orange wheel (not for stainless). G-16 Green rouge is the second step, on the yellow wheel. Blue rouge and purple compound are the show-finish steps.

How do I protect metal after polishing?

Collinite No. 850 Metal Wax is an all-in-one hand polish that cleans and protects weathered bare metal in a single step. Renegade Red Show Shine liquid also combines polishing grains with sealants for a protected finish on aluminum and stainless.
