Ill assume your polishing metal lol ... usually u just spin the buffing wheel against the rouge that u are using till alittle gets on it.
Its hard to tell sometimes that you have gotten any on it but u should see where it is missing from the rouge stick.
Its possible u might have to heat it up if your drill isn't able to turn the buffing wheel fast enough.
I use a buff wheel on a bench grinder and just touch the end of the rouge stick to it for a second or two and that does the trick perfectly.

I think I can give a wealth of advice, but there are things that take detail to explain. Have you typed 100-700 word pm's to 40+ people? If you have then you'd understand why I OFFERED my phone number. Take it or leave it. -Joshua TECH Fanatic
