    orbital sander, buffing wheel, dremel, hell even a $25.00 usd polisher with some foam pads. I buffed out my Z765's and they look brand new. 20 minutes entire set. love the content!

      Cool Terry...what product do you use for polishing? And what grits of sandpaper did you use with orbital? I have an orbital, but just have been using a dremel with their standard sandpaper (I think 60 grit) and haven't done the polishing yet. Practiced removing laser etching on demo clubs hosels.

    Doing a very nice job! I also this year as a hobby began restoring putters, drivers, and irons. For anyone new to club restoration your process of sandpaper and sand blocks works great. I tried a wire wheel on a drill, Vice, eye and hand protection, rubber shaft holding clamp for Vice, ...knocks out big nicks and scrapes fast. The key is minimum metal removal because it affects balance and performance. Wire wheels come in many shapes and sizes, very fine to thick steel strands. DREMEL, random orbital sander, Nevr-Dull wadding polish, Simple Green, old toothbrush , mineral spirits, car detailed and final coat of Turtle Wax ceramic spray wax is my technique. Be patient, experiment on throw away clubs first, take your time and have fun.

  • @lambrettabad

    I’ve done a few and wet and dry sandpaper is best, always dip your sandpaper in a bucket of water. Steel wool too. Dip your club in acetone first and then a wire brush drill attachment to get the old paint off.
    Oil can wedges are so cool.
    Yes, the time element makes this not a viable profit scheme but fun to do

    For the past year I've been restoring the finish on used clubs and reselling them. I use a Dotco pneumatic sander to do the heavy work (to save my fingers). Then use a bench polisher with different cloth wheels and various grits of polish. I use steel wool to to remove rust spit and clean steel shafts. (Nof sure what to treat the shafts and heads with to prevent the rust returning). If grips are slick I will use sand paper to lightly scuff them to bring back some tackiness.

  • @welderryanrondeau
    @welderryanrondeau 4 года назад

    Simon, you can buy a cheap bench grinder. You will use a fine scotch Brite wheel to take off the deep marks. Then you will use a sisal wheel for first stage of polishing ( use with a rubbing compound, black). The last couple stages you will use polishing wheels with different stages of rubbing compounds, white and brown. Then finally polish with Brasso, metal polish. Acrylic paints work good for lettering. I have refurbished a few clubs and found this process to work best. Hope this helps

    I would use a fine tooth strait file so you are not shaping a curve into the face of the club then you can get some 500 grit and a final pass with 1000 for for a nice clean smooth look
    also if you do the heat cycle on the irons can you baseline test for them before heating. if you heat metal it will harden unless it is bronze (will soften)

    @Cambomj 4 года назад

    Maybe try wrapping the paper around a flat file to keep the edges from rounding over and try and polish in the one direction as much as possible - going random just introduces more scratches that you need to remove later. Might also want to strip the Nickel off the putter first. It is likely to leave your surface finish uneven unless it is fully removed. Try Metalx B9 for this part and looking forward to the finished product!

He liked the look of the pitting??? Anyway, told him he should have buffed out the pit marks and then heated it up to glowing with a torch like on your video. Then could have oil quenched it in some used motor oil. If you do this Simon, have a fire extinguisher handy, use long tongs and seriously heavy duty gloves. Be safe my friend.

    Emery paper might be better than the sandpaper on metal will last longer and goes upto 1000grit unbelievabley fine, dremel for the harder bits and curves

    files would help you bring down the corners much faster than sandpaper
