Review on Enkay 156 6K 6 Inch Buffer Polishing by Carl Morgan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works decently but spits out lint like nothing else.

Good value for money, 3 different wheels and 4 compounds. I've used it to remove hairline scratches on expensive Japanese knives caused by cheap plastic sheaths. They weren't very deep, but noticeable in certain lighting conditions. I used 1k-1.5k-2k-2.5k fine sandpaper to prep the knives. I just used a rough white wheel and a finishing wheel. The instructions are somewhat clear and I was turned off. After a while they came out shiny as a mirror. I'm looking for other things in the house to polish next time. Tip: Use this at the lowest RPM setting possible on your workbench and increase it if you like, but going too far will result in fluff. The formulations feel a little dry, but apply well to spinning discs. I would try very hard to get the best results and there are many. I would say this kit will last a while, maybe a few years, but I would buy it again if I need to replace it.
