In the video, a person is seen using a power tool to polish a metal surface. The power tool is equipped with a circular pad that is being moved back and forth over the metal surface to smooth it out. The person's hand is visible, holding the tool and applying pressure to the pad to ensure an even polish. The metal surface appears to be part of a larger machine or equipment, as there are other metal components visible in the background. The lighting in the video is dim, and the focus is primarily on the polishing action.
