Troubleshooting

Inside of ring does not shine with standard polishing paste

Small felt or cotton tools may have lower surface speed, softer contact and lower working temperature than a 6 inch wheel.

Symptoms

  • The outside of the ring shines, but the inside remains dull.
  • A standard polishing paste works on the wheel but not on the inside tool.

Likely causes

  • Small felt or cotton tools may have lower surface speed, softer contact and lower working temperature than a 6 inch wheel.

Checks

  • Check whether the inside work uses a felt tool, cotton rotary buff or cotton wrap on a tapered spindle.
  • Estimate tool diameter and compare it with the 6 inch wheel reference.

Recommended fixes

  • Use LUXI Green with a felt tool, cotton rotary buff or cotton wrap on a tapered spindle.
  • Work in short controlled passes and inspect frequently.

Prevention

  • Treat inside-ring polishing as a separate small-tool route, not a copy of the outside wheel route.
