Has anyone tried something like this for polishing stainless steel?

Not only do they provide amazing results on stainless, chrome, aluminum, etc., but if you’re wanting a Steinway piano finish on varnished surfaces I have found no better way. And I’ve tried a lot of ways on varnish as well.

Can you provide a link for these pads and the tools that can use them? I searched but not sure if I am using the correct description.

Just google “Festool polishing pads” and “Mirka Abralon polishing pads” ( or Abralon Mirka….). Numerous vendors will appear. If you want an in-depth approach to a mirror-like varnish finish I posted a detailed step-by-step post a year or so back. I’ll find and re-post if you want.

There are hand polish pads at various hardwares. They are like rubber erasers loaded with different grit. Fine works amazingly well
