Your question is too general to answer in this forum. Need to narrow down the type of parts you want to process, size, quantity, equipment, costs, etc. to name a few, before an intelligent answer can be given.

Hi, Yasin. An inexpensive and good source for info about polishing and buffing is the Metal Finishing Guidebook. If you find an old copy, it doesn't matter what year of publication, but you need Vol. 2, "Inorganic Coatings" because that's the volume that they put the polishing and buffing chapters in.

Michael and AF are correct that different metals require different polishing methods and materials, and methods that are practical for small high volume parts might have no applicability for large low volume parts and vice versa. Good luck.
