Integrated Polishing System Symptoms
- Light gloss appears but scratches remain
- Customer expects new-jewellery finish
- Surface looks refreshed but not fully restored
Troubleshooting
Light LUXI Blue refresh result is insufficient
A light LUXI Blue refresh is suitable only for minor wear marks; deeper scratches may need a full staged process.
Likely causes
- Damage was deeper than light wear
- One-step commercial refresh was chosen for a restoration-level task
- Wheel condition, pressure or preparation was unsuitable
Checks
- Confirm whether the goal is light refresh shine or a new high-jewellery finish
- Assess scratch depth before polishing
- Check buff cleanliness and compound amount
Recommended fixes
- Move to a staged first-stage and final-lustre workflow if appropriate
- Reset client expectation
- Avoid overworking coated or unknown items
Prevention
- Use the light refresh workflow only for minor wear
- Screen for deep scratches first
- Do not use one-step refresh as a universal restoration method
Warning for plated or coated surfaces
Coated surfaces may include electroplating, flash plating, PVD/CVD coatings, lacquers and other decorative or protective layers. Mechanical polishing may thin, remove, discolor, detach or otherwise damage such coatings. Do not polish coated surfaces unless the coating type, thickness and repair strategy are understood and tested.
