Produces a high gloss and fine mirror finish on aluminum. Menzerna 480BLF is a finishing compound developed especially for aluminum surfaces; it's also suitable for brass and other non-ferrous metals. Spectrum recommends pairing this compound with medium-firmness buffs like our secondary cut/colour buffing wheels and soft buffs like our mirror finishing buffing wheels. Although performance is maximized with Hilzinger buffs, you may find this dry, dense compound works best with lighter textiles at higher buffing wheel speeds.

Produces a high gloss and fine mirror finish on aluminum.

Menzerna 480BLF is a finishing compound developed especially for aluminum surfaces; it's also suitable for brass and other non-ferrous metals. Spectrum recommends pairing this compound with medium-firmness buffs like our secondary cut/colour buffing wheels and soft buffs like our mirror finishing buffing wheels. Although performance is maximized with Hilzinger buffs, you may find this dry, dense compound works best with other manufacturer's buffs at higher buffing wheel speeds.

Cut / Gloss: 2 / 8

480BLF is recommended by Menzerna as the final stage in a two-step polishing process for aluminum; start with Menzerna 439T and finish with 480BLF. Additional polishing steps can add more clarity. Although P14F Medium Cut and 480BLF are recommended as the standard aluminum compounds by Menzerna, we find that P164 Medium Cut and 480W Finish pair extremely well on softer aluminum alloys, and P126 Finish works best on harder alloys. Menzerna suggested processes for: aluminum

Complements: Menzerna 439T, Menzerna P14F, Menzerna P175
