Bring your old parts back from the dead with a Pryme V2 cleaning wheel. Cleans and brightens metals such as aluminum, steels, titanium, brass, and others. These wheels make the process of restoration too much fun, don't be afraid to stock up so you don't run out!
This wheel is similar to the original fine cleaning wheel, but has been improved upon. It still produces an excellent brushed shine, but lasts twice as long and is available in different widths for a more consistent finish.
- Mounts on a bench grinder / buffing machine
- 6" diameter
- Available in 1/2" and 1" wide
- Comparable to 400 grit sandpaper
- Achieves a brushed type finish, use the Rough Wheels or Flap Wheels for scratch removal and material shaping
- Works great for paint preparation too
- Best for aluminum, but can be used on steel, stainless steel, and brass with great results (steel and brass must be coated afterwards to prevent rust and corrosion).
- Available for 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" buffer shaft sizes
- Max RPM: 3600
- Sold individually, or in packs of 3, 5, and 10 to save you some cash!
- Use a wider wheel for larger, more open parts and use thinner wheel for parts that have tighter areas

These wheels are designed to be used on a buffing machine or bench grinder. They can be used on a machine with a 1/2", 5/8", or 3/4" shaft. For a buffing machine, you'll want at least a 1/2 HP motor that spins at 3000 RPM. One with an extended shaft is best, so you have lots of clearance to buff your parts.
If you'll be doing lots of buffing, opt for a 3/4 HP motor. Also, a 2 speed (typically 1800/3600 RPM) machine offers more versatility and is a great option.
Personally, this is the machine I use (Baldor motor, will last a lifetime) Click Here

Whenever you're doing any sort of grinding or sanding you'll want to use eye and respiratory protection. Trust me, you do not want to be breathing in metal particles! At the bare minimum, wear a dust mask and glasses.
A great product for protecting yourself is this respirator Click Here
Alternatively, this is also a great respirator to pair up with safety glasses Click Here
Use these filters with the previously mentioned respirators Click Here
If you're doing lots of buffing, I'd recommend getting some sort of ventilation like this exhaust fan that I use Click Here
And of course, always a good idea to wear gloves Click Here
Installation
- Secure wheel to buffer shaft with a flange on either side. On some wheels, you may have to spin the wheel to help it onto the shaft on the larger 5/8" and 3/4" shaft sizes.
- Tighten down the nut until the wheel is secure on the shaft and doesn’t spin (use a spacer if your nut bottoms out on the threads).
Buffing
- Remove as much grease, oil, and dirt as you can before using the wheels, so you’re not contaminating them.
- Sand or buff in the same direction if you’re going for a brushed look. Intersecting scratches do not look good.
- Try to buff evenly across the part so you don't end up with dips or low spots.
- Use light pressure with the wheel or you'll wear it out prematurely. If you need to apply heavy pressure, you should go to a more aggressive wheel. Refer to buffing chart below.
- In order to make the wheels last as long as possible, stay away from sharp edges. The direction of the wheel should be spinning away from an edge and not towards it. Adjust the orientation of the part accordingly.
- The sweet spot to buff on the wheel is between 4 and 5 o’clock. Look at your buffing machine from the left side, and picture where 4 and 5 o’clock are on the wheels. That is where you will want the part to touch the wheel when buffing.
- Refer to the buffing chart below for the proper wheels to use with each metal type, as well as the steps to achieve the desired finish.
- If you have problems achieving a good finish, refer to the troubleshooting guide below.
- Always wear a dust mask or respirator and eye protection while buffing!
After Buffing:
- A clear ceramic coating will protect your part after buffing.
- Steel and magnesium parts must be protected with a coating, bare steel will rust quickly and magnesium corrodes in a matter of hours. Stainless steel and aluminum can be left bare without corrosion issues, as long as you keep the parts clean and out of the weather during storage.
- To achieve a consistent brushed look on larger parts, finish it by hand with a hand pad, going in the same direction you were buffing in.

V2 Fine Cleaning Wheel
Thanks for your review Devin!
Cant thank cam enough! These have made a huge difference in my shop. We use them almost daily! looking forward to putting in another order! Thanks Cam!
That's great to hear, thanks for sharing your feedback on the wheels! Your business is much appreciated!
Everything was great (the cost of the items, the ease of placing an order, the cost of shipping and the delivery time), but the Canadian duty invoice that I received from the shipping company about 3 weeks later was a killer. It was a lot. I order stuff from the States a fair bit I suppose. Usually I don’t pay duty. I obviously don’t know how it works precisely, but it is interesting how I can order similar items from different companies, and only have to pay duty some of the time.
Long story short... I should have anticipated the possibility of paying duty, and I shouldn’t have ordered this stuff from Pryme. With the added cost of the duty, the total cost was definitely not a reasonable price in the end.
Four out of 5 stars because this was the only element that was unsatisfactory. *But obviously, it’s not Pryme’s fault if they are being an upstanding company by trying to adhere to the US exporting laws. (It’s probably only the big companies that receive some leeway in this area.)
I have used the products since receiving them, and they do seem to be good.
Thanks for sharing your honest review Steven! I'm happy to hear you're satisfied with the products. Unfortunately, the shipping service that was used on your order was found to be a complete rip off. UPS Canada has been charging customers excessive fees upon delivery without any warning. This is a service we had been using for years without issues and out of no where UPS decided to add a bunch of hidden fees on the customer side. I am no longer using this service, and I apologize for the inconvenience. All future orders will be sent using a service that is honest and reliable.
