I just buffed a set of plastic keys today on my ShopSmith. I slowed the =
ShopSmith down to the "jigsaw" setting (almost the slowest setting - a =
wild guess might be 500 rpm - maybe a bit more). I used an unsewn =
buffing wheel. I used red rouge on the nastiest scratches and marks - =
the red rouge is aggressive and leaves a fine scratch pattern. Then I =
hit them all with white rouge on a similar buffing wheel and they all =
polished up bright and shiny in just a few seconds for each key.

    I also have problems in this area.

    I had thought on a softer buffing wheel, but have been unable to =
find a source. The selections available at my suppliers, are limited.=20

    Any ideas?

    I had thought on slowing the wheel down. Would that help?
