I just had an idea and wanted to run it by ya'll...
I've read tons of info on cleaning and waxing cast iron and currently use T9 Boeshield and Renaissance Wax. I've been pretty happy with the results.
I just picked up a used jointer and noticed a few streaks of rust while cleaning it. They're no big deal and you can only really notice them when the light is at the right angle, but I didn't want to apply the Boeshield and wax unless the surface is as clean as possible.
So here's my idea...
Instead of scrubbing the table by hand with a synthetic scotch brite pad, I've got a Ryobi Corner Cat with two synthetic scrubbing pads and was thinking of using it. I can't imagine it would cause a problem, but I thought I'd check.
Also, it's got a "polishing pad". Would that hurt anything? Should I or could I use some sort of polishing compound to polish the surface?
Thanks,
Paul
