The last and most important step in any platinum repair, alteration, or manufacturing process is finishing. Finishing includes prefinishing, polishing, and buffing.

Prefinishing – After making an alteration such as sizing, it is necessary to burnish and prefinish the worked area to remove irregularities from the surface. In this case, prefinishing involves using files and/or abrasives in progressive steps prior to polishing.

Polishing – Using a variety of wheels and compounds progressively to smooth and brighten a platinum piece

Buffing – Using a variety of wheels and compounds progressively to obtain a superior bright white high platinum luster
