What happens here
After the buffing process is complete, the polished area of the diamond plate aluminum is wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove any remaining polish residue. The result is a highly reflective, mirror-like finish on the aluminum. To effectively demonstrate the corrosion protection and hydrophobic qualities of the polish, a small amount of moisture (likely water from a spray bottle) is applied to the freshly polished surface. The water beads up and rolls off, indicating that a protective, water-repellent layer has been formed, which helps prevent future corrosion and tarnishing.
Goal: Reveal polished finish and showcase protective properties
