The polishing process involves using abrasive materials and polishing paste to treat metal surfaces at high speeds, achieving a mirror-like smooth effect. This not only enhances the product’s visual appeal but also helps improve its corrosion resistance. Polishing is commonly applied to products that need to display the natural luster of metal or a high-end texture, such as trophies, medals, and premium jewelry. It is a key step in enhancing the overall beauty and market competitiveness of products. During polishing, attention to detail and quality control is crucial to ensure a uniform and scratch-free high-standard finish.
