    Polishing diamond plate

    In the past I have used metal polish on a foam pad with good results, then buff off with MF. The diamond plate on this travel trailer has very sharp edges on the raised pieces on the diamond plate and is shredding my foam pads. I tried MF pad and the threads keep getting caught on the sharp edges. Any other suggestions? Is there such thing as a polishing brush?

    Bare diamond plate?
    Polishing wheel is the best tool for the job.
    If you have never used them, youtube has great videos to get you started.

    I've gotten excellent results using OMF polishing pad on diamond plate.
