Abstract:
A method and apparatus for polishing the surface of successive automotive vehicle bodies as they move past a polishing station. Rotary brushes are moved into brushing contact with an automotive vehicle body under a regulated pressure. The brushes have bristles covered with abrasive particles. The bristles are made of a consumable material such as nylon so that the tips wear away during use and fresh abrasive is continually presented for polishing.
