OVERVIEW

Professional Mirror Finishing with Walter Instant Polish

The Walter Surface Technologies Instant Polish™ Disc (SKU: 07T502) is a specialized abrasive solution designed to streamline the metal finishing process. Engineered for industrial fabricators and metalworkers, this 5-inch flap disc allows for the creation of a pristine #8 mirror finish on stainless steel, steel, and aluminum surfaces in a single step. Unlike traditional buffing methods that require separate buffing wheels and messy polishing compounds, the Instant Polish disc is a self-contained solution that simplifies workflow and reduces cleanup time.

Constructed with a unique high-performance polishing fabric arranged in a flap disc configuration, this tool provides excellent cushioning and conformability to the workpiece. This design ensures consistent contact with the metal surface, reducing the risk of gouging or uneven finishes. The integrated 5/8"-11 threaded arbor allows for rapid tool changes on standard angle grinders, maximizing uptime in busy production environments. It is particularly effective for architectural metal fabrication, food and beverage equipment manufacturing, and pharmaceutical vessel finishing where surface hygiene and aesthetics are critical.

By eliminating the need for polishing pastes, the Walter 07T502 significantly lowers consumable costs and prevents the contamination of the workpiece with residue. This "dry" polishing capability makes it an ideal choice for on-site repairs and installations where carrying liquid compounds or bars is impractical. Whether you are blending welds on a handrail or restoring the shine to a tank, this disc delivers professional, high-gloss results with the efficiency expected from Walter abrasives.

FAQ

No, the Walter Instant Polish disc is designed to be used dry without any polishing pastes or compounds, making it a much cleaner solution.

The maximum safe speed is typically around 7,300 RPM, but for the best polishing results, it is often recommended to use a variable speed grinder at a lower setting to prevent heat buildup.

The Instant Polish disc is a finishing tool, not a stock removal tool. Deep scratches should be sanded out with finer grit sanding discs (up to grit 320 or 600) before using this disc for the final shine.

This disc comes with a built-in 5/8"-11 threaded hub, which is the standard spindle size for most 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders in North America.

Yes, the Walter Instant Polish disc works excellently on aluminum, as well as steel and stainless steel, to produce a high-gloss finish.

Thanks to its flap disc construction, the Instant Polish disc offers a long service life compared to traditional felt pads, as new polishing material is exposed as the flaps wear down.

A #8 mirror finish is a highly reflective, non-directional finish that looks like a glass mirror. It is the highest standard of polish for stainless steel.

Yes, provided the grinder's speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the disc. However, variable speed grinders offer better control for polishing applications.
