- In this video I break down step by step what order I sand in before I polish. Not sure I could explain it any more in depth than what I have in this video. Of course all the sandpaper we use is available on goshineon.com/shop and is specifically designed for aluminum and stainless. I truly hope all these videos help and hope to see you again soon for the next video. Thanks for watching.

This man knows what he’s talking about, just look at his face😂
Sadly that is my face almost everyday. LOL
Great info, greatly appreciate how you explain the steps.
Thank you, keep up the great videos , fantastic work you do.
I will surely try. Thank you for watching and supporting.
I agree with the comment at 5:25, sanding is the higher skill level, which I still have not yet complety conquered.
It all takes time and lots of practice. Thank you.
So many great tips on your channel! 🙌
Like, I never knew to only sand to 600 for metal! 😮 (I only have experience w car paint/clear coat)
Btw… I wanna start over and perfect those big SS hex nuts I talked about before. All 6 hex sides still have some dings/pits after I bastard-filed them by hand. I want them perfect tho!
I recently bought a new high rpm Dewalt drill (2800rpm, 7amp), 5/8-11 arbor adapter, 36grit flap disc (just in case) and also 5” backing pad w a bunch of assorted sanding discs (one kit is 80-600grit and other kit is 320-2000… both kits are alum oxide).
I’ve wanted a Makita/Dewalt rotary polisher for the longest time… but, I don’t polish my car often (like once-twice per decade lol). And they’re like $200, I can’t justify nor afford it. That’s why I got the drill instead (imo, it’s a more versatile tool for the seldom-DiYer/hobbyist, and it’s replacing my 40year old drill anyways, lol.)
Anyways… my question is… what grit should I start with to remove those pits/dings on 316 SS??
If you want a visual, it’s in my latest ‘7” record stabilizer/weight’ video (about halfway thru video @19:00, I show it after I filed it by hand). You can still see pits and imperfections on the hex nut.
What grit to start with the Raw nut on the left? (say if I wanted to smooth more of them for people)
And, what grit to start with the nut I already filed down on the right?
Any help appreciated!!🙏
Paint and raw metal are definitely two different beasts. Paint is very soft and needs finer attention. Whereas metal needs a more aggressive approach. On stainless that is rough I start at 80 grit and work my way up. But you will lose a lot of material getting all those pits out.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thanks! I guess I'll try 80grit this weekend! If it's too weak, then I'll try the 36grit flap disc I got.
Hard work and long hours, Pride is the real shine here, Thank you for sharing you experience with us. Seen how hard you try to make your videos knowable. 👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate that. Thank you.
Very good advise!

Thank you bud. Truly appreciate the support.
Great info. Much Appreciation. DA all the way for a rookie like myself
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid man!! Love ittttttttt
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the sandpaper commentary.
For example, if you increase the number of papers, what is the difference between rotary and DA finishes?
rotary bites deeper always.
Love the content man! How would hand sanding fit into this chart of grit with da vs rotary? Does sanding by hand make the scoring deeper or anything like that?
Very helpful, thank you 😎
Happy to help. Thank you for watching.
Thanks!
Thank you for the tip and for watching/supporting the channel. Truly means a lot.
Rough shipping containers?
Great info 👍🏼
Thank you!
Great videos brother. How would you go about polishing an aluminum alternator?
I love your videos I've learned a lot keep up the great work. Have a question for you... I've been doing some Polish in about 5 or 6 years mostly just a truck I drive. Got a new kenworth about 10 months ago the tanks if not had anything done to them yet was wondering if I should sand with 406 100 or just cut and color.. It's a brand new truck a 2020.
Sometimes they need sanded. Sometimes they don't. I usually polis one spot. If it polishes easy then I just polish. If it doesn't then I sand. I try to avoid sanding unless I have to.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing I know you're very busy thanks for the response.
What grit would you use on high calcium build up on pontoons
600 grit you refer to is P600 (FEPA ) or US 600 (CAMI)?
Both are common standards but as stated in the video it doesn't mean much to me. The brand of the paper and how they grade it means more to me than the Standard by which they are held to because the grading system has no checks and balances. You can grab 6 different companies with grade p600 and they will all be different levels of hardness and coarseness. The 600 grit I use is p600 but not FEPA or CAMI graded.
I have everything I need
That is great to hear.
Have you polished a rim on a cement truck?
Yes tons.
Hey Evan do you have any recommendations for a polisher in the Houston Tx area thanks..
Check out adans_wheel_detailing on Instagram
I'm sorry I don't know anyone in that area.
Does sanding aggressively thin steel??
Not so much on steel as softer metals like aluminum.
I want to remove spring bar swivels off the back of my watch. What grain do I need ?
I don't understand what you are asking.
hello how are you how to polish steel rims how many sandpaper finishes and what color polish shines well
@@alexisbog138 So which polish do you recommend for the finish, blue or green?
@@zaferdogan8651
ZEPHYR products are not import into Japan!
I have never used ZEPHYR products.
Basically, I use Japanese metal polishing products.
@@alexisbog138 what color do you use lacquer
@@zaferdogan8651 It ’s a super clear lacquer, A little Lenova Conc (antioxidant) is mixed.
Steel rims? or aluminum rims??
What do they mean? Rotary is circular motion I'm guessing what is DA?
Dual Action
You look like I do after work (I do custom & industrial scullery for ELKAY Manufacturing).
Dirty Jobs, Clean Money.
