What happens here
A buffing wheel, which appears to be a small lambswool or synthetic bonnet, is attached to a cordless drill (specifically a Milwaukee M18 Fuel is shown). The presenter first uses the drill at a low speed to gently spread the Flitz Polish evenly across the diamond plate aluminum surface. Once the polish is distributed, the drill speed is gradually increased, and the buffing wheel is worked over the entire area. The goal is to continuously polish until the aluminum begins to achieve a bright, shiny, mirror-like finish, indicating that oxidation and minor imperfections are being removed.
Goal: Polish aluminum to a mirror finish
