Finishing / High gloss surface
Finishing involves the final processing stages to improve the surface – either for technical or purely aesthetic purposes.
Depending on the material, tool and processing technique, surface results ranging from linear to mirror polishing can be achieved. The first steps towards a shine are accomplished by using grinding files and/or abrasive cloths.
If the surface is to be polished to a shine, polishing felts are used in combination with diamond compounds. Gradually better and increasingly brilliant surface results can be obtained by step-by-step use of the compounds from coarse to fine.
It should be noted that the surface must be cleaned before using a finer compound and a new felt must be used to avoid any residues of coarser compound being introduced into the process.
