2. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

   A no. 8 ("mirror") finish requires polishing and buffing compounds, and polishing wheels attached to high speed polishing machines or electric drills. Lubricants like wax and kerosene [ 4 ] may be used as lubricating and cooling media during these operations, although some polishing materials are specifically designed to be used "dry."

3. Brasso - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso

   Brasso has also been used to polish out scratches in plastics: It has been used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and centre), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect.

4. Chemical-mechanical polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical-mechanical_polishing

   Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) (also called chemical mechanical planarization) is a process of smoothing surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. It can be thought of as a hybrid of chemical etching and free abrasive polishing. [ 1 ]

5. Electropolishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropolishing

   Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing, anodic polishing, or electrolytic polishing (especially in the metallography field), is an electrochemical process that removes material from a metallic workpiece, reducing the surface roughness by levelling micro-peaks and valleys, improving the surface finish.

6. Rotten stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_stone

   It has also been used to polish brass, such as that found on military uniforms, as well as steel and other metals. Plates used in daguerreotypes were polished using rotten stone, the finest abrasive available at the time. It is also used to polish jewelry and in toothpastes. Its more common use is as a filler, as used in plastics, paint and ...

7. Abrasive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasive

   Cutting compound used on automotive paint is an example of an abrasive suspended in a liquid, paste or wax, as are some polishing liquids for silverware and optical media. The liquid, paste or wax acts as a binding agent that keeps the abrasive attached to the cloth which is used as a backing to move the abrasive across the work piece.
