How Does Polishing Work?

A stain-free, scratch-free surface finish is important on glossy surfaces. Polishing emulsions are often caustic to produce the required finish. Therefore, polishing systems may contain stainless steel exposed components such as hardware, rings, and plates.

Polishing often uses a polishing pad and water-based emulsion to create a reflective or clear surface.
