- Page 5 • In most cases it is possible to restore a dented piece of stainless or aluminum trim to its original condition. We recommend using Eastwood’s #13146 Trim Hammer and #13336 Anvil for dent removal in thin metal trim pieces. The Trim Hammer is designed to access most areas however the #28241 Repousse Hammer is best for larger, flatter pieces.
- Page 6 Further smoothing the surface at this point will save substantial buffing time. Additional smoothing can be done with the 3M Trizact Bands available from Eastwood. These bands are comparable to 100, 200, 400, 700, and 1200 grit. The precise structure of the abrasive used on the Trizact band delivers fast effective cutting throughout the life of the belt.
- Page 7 Abrasive Rolls in both cylinders and tapers in (#13129 – 80 Grit , #13131 – 220 Grit, #13132 – 320 Grit) are available from Eastwood. These rolls are used with a High Speed Pneumatic or Electric Die Grinder. The Mandrels for these rolls are available in lengths from 2 3/4” to 6” long.

- Page 11 • On larger objects, divide the surface area into 1” x 2” areas and move from area to area. Never lose focus in keeping the edge of the object in the direction of wheel rotation and in the “Work Zone” of the Wheel (Fig 2). To order parts and supplies: 800.343.9353 >> eastwood.com...
- Page 12 • When done, clean the surface of the just buffed object of all compound residue and inspect. Eastwood #10194ZP, PRE Painting Prep is excellent for cleaning buffing residue as are acetone, mineral spirits or denatured alcohol. If some areas require additional attention, repeat above buffing process and check again.
- Page 13 It is also very important to be sure to keep the piece being buffed constantly moving on the wheel to prevent discoloration and distortion. The heat is not beneficial, it is merely a by-product of the buffing process. To order parts and supplies: 800.343.9353 >> eastwood.com...
