The Art of Polishing: How Garbo Creates High-Quality Stainless Steel Cutlery

Polishing is a crucial step in the production of stainless steel tableware. It not only determines the product's appearance and luster but also reflects a brand's manufacturing prowess and attention to detail. For many years, Garbo as a stainless steel tableware manufacturer in China, consistently put the hearts on polishing technology.

1. High mirror polish is the best polishing, which has one more process than Mirror polish.

The main materials of the wheels are cotton, pure cotton, linen, velvet, nylon, and fine felt. Wheels are available in single-layer (400mm outer diameter, 350mm inner diameter) and multi-layered versions with smaller outer diameters. It produce a 360-degree shine with no blind spots and a whole cleared mirror effect. There are no vertical lines or pitting. Even the R-shaped is smooth.

2. Mirror polish is good enough for high quality cutlery sets, achieving a mirror finish on both sides of the knives, forks and spoons. You have to look very carefully to find the small subtle vertical lines.
