Thank you for the videos . I have a set of cast aluminum slotted mags that are about 6 months old and a helpful car wash attendant sprayed the bug dissolving soap that they spray on your windshield on my new wheels while they were hot and it stained them, my question is is it possible to get the stains out with sanding and polishing or is it a lost cause. Thank you in advance
Take a look at "Niter bluing". Basically a process of using very hot niter salts to deposit a thin layer of oxides onto a metal surface (usually iron) to give it color. A range of colors is possible depending on temperature and time. I suspect what you see as "burning" is basically a similar process of depositing a collection of oxides, nitrates and other Metallic ionic compounds which form between hot metal and polishing paste/wax. Stainless has a layer of chromium oxide on its surface, which is allot less reactive than say aluminum, so it is harder to "burn" it, unless you wear through the passivization layer and get to actual iron rich portion..

Can a yellow burn from to much compound be fix/correted on a chrome bumper ?
Mine keeps leaving dark lines like residue what could that be?
Likely means the surface isn't smooth enough to polish and the pits are catching the compound and making gum.
Pics of what your teaching woulda got the like but 👍
Sorry about that
Very helpful, might have just save my ..... Well thank you
