How to Use High-Performance Flap Discs for Polishing

At Engineering Utilities, we’ve worked with abrasive solutions for over 40 years. We know what works in the workshop. If you're aiming for a flawless finish from polishing metal surfaces, high-performance flap discs should be your go-to.

Why Choose Polishing Flap Discs?

Polishing flap discs are designed for high-gloss results. Unlike standard abrasive flap discs, these are pre-impregnated with polishing paste. This means fewer steps and cleaner results.

Two of our most trusted options are the BRIGHTEX Berry and BRIGHTEX Sun polishing flap discs. Each is designed for a specific stage of the polishing process.

Start with the BRIGHTEX Berry – Pre-Polish

Use the Berry flap disc first. It removes oxide layers and begins the polishing process in one step. This disc contains a high-tech Berry paste that works well on flat or shaped metal surfaces. Use it on stainless steel, aluminium, or chrome. You’ll get fast results even if the metal still has visible marks.

It’s ideal for surface reconditioning. If you’re preparing parts for a mirror polish, the Berry disc is essential.

Follow Up with the BRIGHTEX Sun – Main Polish

After pre-polishing, switch to the Sun flap disc. It removes smears and clears any remaining haze. The result? A mirror-like finish that rivals chrome plating.

The Sun disc contains a new Sun paste formula developed specifically for metal finishing. Use it with polishing machines or hand-held tools. Either way, you’ll see the finish transform before your eyes.

Get the Best Finish – Every Time

For the cleanest outcome, always remove polishing residue between stages. We recommend using Eisenblatter cleaning products for this. They’re formulated to work with BRIGHTEX discs and won’t damage your surface.

High-performance flap discs save time and reduce the need for multiple tools. No need to keep switching between compounds and pads. These discs do the work in fewer steps.

Tips for Using Abrasive Flap Discs for Polishing

  • Apply consistent pressure. Let the disc do the work.

  • Avoid staying in one spot too long. This keeps the surface even.

  • Keep your tools clean. Residue buildup affects finish quality.

  • Replace worn discs. A fresh flap disc ensures top performance.
