I am creating this thread to discuss anything related to the Beall buffing method. If you have input, please comment here.
I recently discovered that if a bowl sits in storage for +/- 8 months, or so......it will need to be re-buffed with the third step, carnauba wheel, before sold, or put to use. There is a noticeable difference in the luster with the re-buff. Do you also find this to be necessary?
It appears as if the average life span of an 8" bowl buff is around +/- 250 bowls for the step #3 carnauba wax wheel. The other two wheels are still a good diameter, but are slowly being reduced in size. They will last much longer.
Has anyone compared the new style bowl buffs with the older discontinued style of bowl buffs? I have the old style bowl buffs, and they are not that useful for me. They seem to be too inflexible in the way they are constructed. The newer style looks like this may have been addressed. The old style 4" buff is installed in the photo shown in the next post.......
