    You did not say what size objects you are trying to polish nor if
    they are textured or not. It all makes a difference. I don't like to
    polish with the flexshaft particular if the object is flat and
    smooth. The buffs are so narrow that I get an uneven finish. I
    prefer a buffing machine or my little vibratory tumbler with steel
    shot. As far as the build up or black on your pieces, the buff may
    be too loaded or you may not be using enough pressure.
