Re: Rear brake cable ----- I'm confused!
I already have buffers and compounds brown and white. But when the plating is gone and the spoke is badly rusted, there really isn't much you can do. I use my compound on large (10")wheels on my home made bench grinder. I also have some buffing wheels for my counterfeit Dremel (Dayton) from WW Grainger. about 30 years ago.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Rear brake cable ----- I'm confused!
Using the black compound first is what makes the difference. That is for steel. Yes, large amounts of rust won't fix that. But, you would be surprised just how well that compound performs even with some rust here and there.. You may have a few pits left behind. But, it will be hardly visible. After the black, the brown will make it shine that much better. If you do white on steel or aluminum after using black and brown it starts to dull the finish considerably. Compare 2 pieces of the same metal. Only using black and brown. And the other piece using white also. You'll see what I'm referring to.Coyote wrote:I already have buffers and compounds brown and white. But when the plating is gone and the spoke is badly rusted, there really isn't much you can do.
