Part 1: Buffing with Coarse Diamond Paste
Step 1: Diamond Extender Fluid for Diamond Polishing
To begin with, you must apply the diamond extender fluid on the surface you are polishing. This liquid that can be obtained online or from a hardware store aids in the prolongation of the diamond paste’s durability and efficiency. It is recommended to apply several drops on the surface of the work, whether it is a polishing wheel, or a piece of steel, etc. Visit us at Almas Diamond, the best diamond polishing UAE company!
Step 2: Coarse Diamond Polishing Paste
After that, it is necessary to apply a small amount of Diamond paste. Begin with a rough paper that has an average particle size ranging between 20 to 40 micron. Squeeze the plunger of the syringe gently to release a small amount of paste as a pea size on the surface. Just to remind you it is recommended to start with a little and gradually increase the amount if necessary.
For such smaller items as opals, the felt buff tip and a rotary tool are used in applying the paste. For larger surfaces such as steel it is advised to start with a 20 micron grit and then progress to the finer grades.
Step 3: Work in the Paste with a Cloth while Diamond Polishing
With the help of a cloth, start applying the diamond paste with side to side movements on the surface. It is recommended that the paste should cover as much of the surface as possible and should also spread evenly. For this purpose, non-woven cloths or woven silk is good to be used. When using small items, one can use a felt buff tip to apply the paste in the right manner.
Step 4: Wash the Surface
After you have completed sanding the material, it is important to wash the surface well. After that, employing a baby wipe clean the residue of the diamond paste. This is carried out to avoid polluting the paste when applying subsequent layers of paste on the wafer. Make sure to have a can of wipes with you as you will be needing it in between the process to give it a neat and shine look.

Part 2: Finishing Diamond Polishing with a Finer Paste
Step 1: Apply a finer-grit diamond paste
It is now time to switch to a finer paper after using the coarse paste on the surface of the metal. Take another pea-sized amount of the cleaning solution and spread it over the surface of the cloth and then rub it gently over the surface. Ensure that the surface is covered well with paste and wipe until no more paste is seen. This step also aids in the production of a smoother and shinier surface of the product.
Step 2: Remove Any Residue
Once again, you should take a baby wipe and gently wipe off all the remaining paste if any. Rub until the surface has a smooth finish and texture. This is important in allowing the finer grits to cut effectively without being hampered by residual matter from the previous stage, thus giving a better polish.
Step 3: Repeat with successively finer pastes
The final paste should be of the same consistency as the gel. Proceed and refine the process with successively tinier diamond pastes. Each time, it is recommended to use a quantity of product as a pea and massage it into the skin, and then remove the excess. Generally, you should have to pass through this process more than once and with different grits of stones, such as 20 microns, 7 microns, and 1 micron. This gradual reduction in grit size helps achieve a very smooth surface finish, or mirror like finish. When done, the surface should be highly shiny, devoid of any paste remnants and have a buttery feel to it. While this may appear to be a laborious method, the final product is a highly polished surface, hence the name.
