Patrick Ray Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Blew apart my 19644 to get it all cleaned up. Used Meguiar's 105 compound on my little 3" air buffer to clean up the original Japan. Got all the brass polished up except the cage. Cage needs some straightening first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Ray Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks Jim. I love watching the buffer remove 100+years of grime to reveal that beautiful black finish underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 That is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks guys. Here's the cage fresh off the buffer. Still have a little bending and tweaking I want to do to it. Admittedly, I don't have the patience others do for straightening cages. But trust me when I say it looks better than when I got it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do the 3 different compounds/wheels on the bench buffer. But the real shine comes out when I hit it with Simichrome polish by hand. The motor badge was just with Simichrome. I've done a couple fans where I just wanted some nice brass shine but not a full mirror shine; I'll just do the Simichrome by hand and it yields nice results.

Patrick Ray Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks Bob! I'm starting to dig these little Emersons... They take up way less room versus the 12" and 16" models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
