Airway Buffing Wheel — Flannel Finishing 6″ / 152mm (16 Ply)

6″ Flannel Airway Buffing Wheel – Metal Polishing

The compact finishing wheel — soft white flannel for the final mirror-shine pass in tighter spaces, complex shapes, and smaller components where a 10″ wheel will not fit. 16-ply construction gives consistent surface contact across contours and edges.

How To Use: Mount with a matched 2″ safety flange. Apply 480BLF or P175 sparingly — finishing compounds go further than cutting compounds. Work light, even passes in tight areas where control matters more than coverage. This is the last step, so the surface should already be smooth from the earlier stages.

Softness is the point. This is the softest wheel in the range, so it cannot cut — it only finishes. That is also why 480BLF behaves differently here than on a natural untreated wheel: on untreated cotton it still colours and lifts haze, while on flannel it delivers final gloss. P175 goes one step further again for the highest-clarity finish.

One compound per wheel. The wheel type takes either compound, but each individual wheel should only ever meet one. A finishing wheel carrying traces of a cutting compound will put marks straight back into the surface you just perfected.
