Beall Wax Wheel

[Russell Neyman]

Is there a difference between the Beall White Diamond buffing wheel and the one for carnauba wax? A friend picked up a replacement after I contaminated the original with some brass polishing, and it just doesn't put down the same luster.

What I have seen in product listings is that the Tripoly wheel is 100% linen, the white diamond wheel is 50% Linen, 50% cotton, and the wax wheel is 100% cotton. I have only seen this in catalog descriptions, so take if for what it is worth.

[Fred Belknap]

I would try washing the contaminated one.

I have the set and Brian is quite correct.

[Russell Neyman]

Thought so. Thanks.

They wash very well. But do not use fabric softener.

You might try "resurfacing" them with some 150 grit sandpaper backed by a piece of wood. That also gets rid of the "strings" when the wheels are first new.

[Jeff Gilfor]

Ken is correct, bu that will not remove contamination from the fibers. It's merely for "dressing" the edges.
