Buffing and Polishing Compounds

Remove scratches, oxidation, and other surface imperfections from your workpiece. Apply a layer of compound by holding these bars against a revolving buffing wheel or polishing bob. Microns are approximate.

Most buffing processes have two steps, cutting and coloring.

1. Cutting removes scratches and imperfections.

2. Coloring produces an even finish.

Cutting/coloring compounds perform both steps at once.

Vegetable-Based—Pair with synthetic-felt polishing bobs to finish workpieces without using any animal-derived materials.

Aggressive Buffing and Polishing Compounds

Remove more material than traditional buffing compounds. These consist of abrasive grains embedded in glue to adhere to your buffing wheel. They remove scratches and surface imperfections and leave a dull satin finish. Also known as greaseless compounds. Apply by holding one of these bars against a revolving buffing wheel. Grit is approximate.

Cutting, the first step in the buffing process, removes scratches and surface imperfections.
