Constructed from 16 plies of untreated cotton, this wheel offers a softer, more flexible polishing surface than blue or yellow mill-treated buffs. Its natural cotton construction conforms to curves, contours, and irregular surfaces while providing controlled polishing action. Depending on the compound selected, it can perform light cutting, intermediate polishing, or coloring to develop a bright, uniform finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":11,\"y\":295,\"w\":685,\"h\":117,\"abs_x\":382,\"abs_y\":553}'\u003eThe pleated airway construction promotes airflow through the wheel during operation, helping reduce heat buildup on both the buff and the workpiece. Its 8\" diameter provides a practical balance of surface coverage and maneuverability, while the 3\" center plate and 5\/8\" arbor hole accommodate properly matched polishing equipment and safety flanges. Ideal for refining surfaces after more aggressive cutting stages, this versatile 16-ply white airway buff can be paired with intermediate or finishing compounds to develop natural luster, improve surface reflectivity, and prepare metal for a brilliant high-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":11,\"y\":429,\"w\":685,\"h\":19,\"abs_x\":382,\"abs_y\":687}'\u003e\u003cstrong
