just aluminum, and rarely does the puck get damaged. It does get a bit

ring seems to work well.  I use a cotton wheel on a Dremel type tool and 
some red jewelers rouge after a sanding with 1000 grit paper to shine it 
up.  O rings are tough to find.  Especially the square edged ones.  I'm 
no help there.

in this condition.

spend the time and buff and clean.
