Using the Jooltool X system, ANIE shows how to use 3M Radial Brushes on aluminum parts. These are the perfect alternative to wire brushes for sanding, cleaning up corrosion & oxidation. The finer grades get a super polish, all without using compound!
She then finishes off with a Cotton Buffing wheel with JOOLTOOL Compound for the ultimate luster!
Brushes are 3 inches in diameter and have 6 plys (layers).

That’s amazing!!! Finally a woman makes a short, sweet but very informative!!! Thank you A
Matthew Ryan Aww Thank you Matthew! I shot this video for a customer in another country. He asked me to show him how the brushes work on Aluminum, and I did! I always want to help my customers! -Anie
I've had great success in polishing aluminum with sanding up to 2000 grit, then using brasso. Rub it in thoroughly and buff off. A better finish than what's shown here but without the tools.
I can do it in one step. The customer wanted to see the finish of each step using the 3M brushes. Use my compound with my felt wheel and it will remove all the scratches to a high polish and you are done! -Anie
Great instructional Anie, thank you!
wow thats so shiny i could see my reflection through the monitour
Wow Anie, that seems to work pretty good, Thanks for making the video for me.
Wheels are made by 3M, take up the Polish with them, cowards. Anie can polish Aluminum in one step, I've seen her do it at the SEMA car show, and I have heard CHIP FOOSE say that he usee his JOOLTOOL Every Day. Her compound Polishes like magic, and she developed the formula. She works really hard and helps her customers to achieve the best results.
this is the best video yet!
Anie, it’s actually 15 micron that’s 1200 grit. 6 micron is about 3500 grit. Great video, just didn’t want people confused when asking for 6 micron disc’s
3M has a different was of measuring 'their" Microns. I am only following their guidelines, trust me, I do not make these up! Thank you for being Kind in your comment. Much Love -Anie
...I think you just cut about 20 hours out of an upcoming project of mine! I'll have to see how those bristle wheels handle rough-cast aluminum to be sure, but if that works, that's a LOT of hand-sanding I won't have to do! Sweet!
Nice video. But how do you protect the shine from weather, road grime and everyday travel?
Use clear spray lacquer.
I would have liked to have seen the video include a corroded aluminium part, cos that's the place I would normally be starting from.....
I did jut what you wanted at the SEMA show this month in Vegas. Tons of Aluminum parts from old cars. I can do it in one step. The customer wanted to see the finish of each step using the 3M brushes. Use my compound with my felt wheel and it will remove all the scratches to a high polish and you are done! -Anie
Dope!
Can this be used on an angle grinder and forged aluminum wheels?
nice hands!
can you put these on a rotary tool?
the jooltool is fantastic, but in this case not so much because it rounded the flat surfaces and can damage the actual fit that the part suppose to have
It’s a Bottle opener. The Jooltool can keep crisp edges better than any polisher out there. This Video was shot just to show a Customer how the 3M brushes work on Aluminum, I told him I prefer using my Felt Wheel with my Jooltool compound to achieve a high polish on Aluminum, thank you for watching -Anie simezra
Hi can you show how to made a Satine Finish like the iPhones or Apple Watches Aluminium thanks I think is micro particles of some kind of sand but don't know
I will show this in an upcoming video, subscribe to my channel to be informed or just keep checking my channel.
Is the compound of the grade of 0.5 micron or 0.25 micron?
Thanks.
how hot will the metal get? I'm looking for a better way to polish die cast aluminum boxes. I'm currently using a belt sander to get the pits out and then wet sanding by hand to 400 grit which takes forever. would these discs be suitable for a box that's about 5" x 4" x 1" ?
umm high polish usually means getting rid of the pitted casted surface.. anyhow.. the radial brushes are great
+chronokokos The demo piece used was rough example and we were limited to using only the brushes for this video. However, your point is very relevant. To clean up the casting, we recommend using our Scotchbrite EXL Unitized material, which we amicably call "Scratch eraser". You can find more info here: jooltool.com/product/3m-scratch-eraser-disc-medium (other grades are also available). Then finish with our Felt Polishing wheel. Thank you for your interest. Cheers.
there's still a lot of small scratches on the final polish. I think just spending more time on the buffing wheel and moving up through finer finishing compounds would do the trick.
Honestly I can do it in one step, with no scratches, just a high polish. The customer wanted to see the finish of each step using the 3M brushes. Use my compound with my felt wheel and it will remove all the scratches to a high polish and you are done! -Anie
Holy crap you're a broken record
@@Sideshow320 Try getting 300,000 views on a video and personally replying to every comment without sounding similar... oh..wait... what? you're just a dumb CZcams troll? sorry, I forgot, stupid me....STFU!
would work the same and would be cheaper on a regular bench grinder.
Do a video of it and let's see proof...
MAM why you not using any chemical compound
Would you happen to have these for the power drill as well? hope you reply thanks!
You can put them on a drill, but they wont spin as fast, I have them running at 5,000 RPM
can those be adapted to a grinding wheel??
ChrisDel157 _ h
regular wire wheels stepping down finer a would work
A wire wheel makes a mess of a finish on aluminum.
And after changing all those attachments it still sucked! Hi polish not quite.
+Danny soto This video showcases how the brushes work on surfaces. The advantage is that they do not remove details such as embossed or engraved details. In this case, the casting was very rough and the brushes left certain pits intact. To perfectly clean up the casting, including removing pating lines, we recommend using our Scotchbrite EXL Unitized material, which we amicably call "Scratch eraser". You can find more info here: jooltool.com/product/3m-scratch-eraser-disc-medium (other grades are also available). Then finish with our Felt Polishing wheel. Thank you for your interest. Cheers.
Hey Danny, Honestly I can polish with no scratches in one step. I think I have a pretty damn good track record of polishing...AND I invented and manufacture the JOOLTOOL too! The customer wanted to see the finish of each step using the 3M brushes. Use my compound with my felt wheel and it will remove all the scratches to a high polish and you are done! -Anie
Or just use sand paper then a felt wheel with polishing compound the old fashion way, which ACTUALLY gives a mirror finish.
@@Sideshow3203M abrasives vs sandpaper = 3M wins
@@Sideshow320 would love to see you do a video on that, CZcams troll...
Great hands nice nails
Where can I get the machine and all the wheels ? What would all that cost ? Thanks for your time.
Thank you so much for watching our video, Anie used the brushes and buffing wheel and you can check these tools out on our website: jooltool.com
You can use these tools on your own buffer or you can use them on the JOOLTOOL Machine

Where can i buy thos type of grit. What is that?
Go to www.JOOLTOOL.COM search BRUSHES
where can i buy those brushes from?
+Djhi Normas Thank you for your interest. Check out this link: jooltool.com/product/3-radial-brush-kit-3m-scotch-brite.

What kind of wheels are that?
3M Brushes. You can find them on our WWW.JOOLTOOL.COM, We sell the original 3M brushes, there are fakes out there! 3M's patent expired. -Anie
Thats polished not mirror finished but these wheels do look cool to work with!
can this be done for firearms?
Not if you want an antique firearm to retain it's value. I know butt-all about polishing, but antiques I know should not be polished. If, however, you are talking about modern firearms, please ignore this comment.
Or I can just mount a bench grinder and do the same thing?
You can do much much better with a bench grinder. But the goshdarn fooltool can do it all in one step, didn't you hear? It'll even go pick your kids up WHILE leaving a dull finish that apparently passes for a mirror finish to this lady, all for the low low price of friggin $160. Is she kidding? LOL
@@Sideshow320 you sure had a lot of time on your hands for all these derogatory comments... perhaps you're a sandpaper salesman and like to fool people into doing everything by rubbing two things together, like neanderthals used to do to make fire?
using this could i get to mirror polished
+Paul Atherton exactly what i want to do :D for a telescope mirror i will cast on my own, I wonder if that's the case for you as well
i want to do certain firearms in mirror polish
+Paul Atherton yes but you'd want to change up the buffing steps a little bit. You could start with the black colored buffing compound, then brown, then white. Its a similar concept to moving up to finer grits, but with buffing compound. If you spend more time on the buffer then she does, you should have a great mirror finish without any scratches.
Paul Atherton on firearms, go through normal grits...up to 2000. Then use jewelers polish with a dremel.

+onjoFilms The links have been updated. Thank you.
New website up: We updated the links accordingly! ;)
will you do a macbook
Carl Cagle you could, I don't see why not
I thought it was supposed to be alum not jewelry
Regular buffs with tripoli and rouge are faster and cheaper. That thing is just an electric motor in a box. It's basically a device to sell 3-m products. And if that chick's a bench jeweler I'm the queen of England.
Hey Queen of England, do your research, I've been a bench Jeweler since I was 10 years old. My Father is very known in the industry as I am too. I invented the Jooltool because I AM A BENCH JEWELER and WANTED A BETTER WAY TO POLISH. I can polish aluminum in one step. The customer wanted to see the finish of each step using the 3M brushes. Use my compound with my felt wheel and it will remove all the scratches to a high polish and you are done! -Anie
A professional bench jeweler since 10? No wonder you had to come up with this scam if you were handing crap like this piece back to customers and calling it a mirror finish.
@@Sideshow320 Anie devotes her life to a cause bigger than hers. As for you; the definition of Sideshow is: a minor or diverting incident or issue, especially one which distracts attention from something more important... nuff said, so STFU.
@@TheRealYaro Well at least I'm not a crook and a con artist. Scumbags
Hate to be that guy but please don't try polishing your bike parts by beginning with such a coarse grit, like 60. If anything the most coarse grit you should begin with is 220, and some even start with 400 or 600. End with 1,000 grit (some say 2,000) and finish with buffing compound.
The 3M brushes leave a finer finish than your conventional wheels. Perhaps, if you had experience using these wheels then you would have known this. Don't mislead others, know the facts.
Aluminium not aluminum !
+Marc Cartier dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/d04.html :)
+JooltoolUSA aluminium is the world wide spelling , not only the British way .
See periodic table
And "higher" rather than "more higher."
Don't forget you must also say it like "ahh-lew-min-eee-um". I'm sure she's been told before, when will these women learn?
Ed Bear gwahahahahaha
Watch your nails!!
thats not really mirror finish ... more like grainy mirror finish
Please READ my replies. This was a video I shot for a customer for the SOLE purpose to show how the 3M brushes preform on aluminum. I told him you will get a higher polish with my Jooltool compound. If you use my JOOLTOOL COMPOUND WITH THE FELT WHEEL YOU CAN GET ALL THE SCRATCHES OUT IN ONE STEP. -Anie creator of the Jooltool AND the compound
Still not a mirror finish though. There's a lengthy process to achieving that involving stepping up through progressively finer grit sand paper until finally using a polishing wheel with polishing compound. A process that's been around for a very long time. This just seems like a cheap marketing gimmick that gives half the result that putting in less than half the work achieves. Can't just jump straight to polishing compound on a felt wheel for a mirror finish. Also no need to jump down the guy's throat for pointing out the obvious.
Honestly, for the amount of time spent on each step the results are pretty decent. Hard to complain about the return on time invested here. Polishing cast takes a lot of time and effort to make look flawless.
@@Sideshow320 Does it take you an hour to do what it takes her less than 5 minutes?... based on your hundreds of comments on this video alone, it seems you're either an infatuated troll or someone who's jealous that he didn't come up with this idea yourself. Get a life, dude, cuz you this makes you look desperate & pathetic.
Time and time again I am baffled by what some people consider "mirror shine". How can people who work in the business have such low standards and such poor attention to detail? Sorry to be critical, but this is far from mirror finished. If I ordered parts to be mirror finished, and got this back, I'd return them without any hesitation and ask for my money back. I achieve a perfect mirror finish on prototypes purely by hand, no machines, and I mean MIRROR, meaning there's not even a micro scratch on it visible. This is not even perfectly glossy, let alone mirror finish. You can't get a mirror finish unless you sand the surface first with several levels of paper granulation and make the surface perfectly flat and even first, otherwise the reflection will be distorted and therefore not a MIRROR finish. Only when the surface is perfectly level can you can go ahead and start polishing. This is all pitted and uneven. Not to mention that through overly aggressive approach the geometry of the part was changed. The edges were softened, flat surfaces curved, etc.
Don't like having to be the spoil sport. But was expecting a mirror finish. My guest continues.......
Juul tool😂
