Polishing is a necessary pre-treatment for other operations such as powder coating and plating. Oxide and dust can be removed from the metal, providing a nice, smooth surface to coat. The polishing process can also be applied as a single decorative process providing a mirror finish.
Benefits
Metal polishing enhances the appearance of the part by removing contamination, oxidation, corrosion, and surface blemishes. Once polished, a mirror like finish is produced that can be protected with a clear coat, color finish, or nickel/chrome plating. The finished product will be resistant to further corrosion, be aesthetically appealing, and have increased durability.
