    Polishing Bob and Compound Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Polishing Bobs. Polishing Bob and Compound Kits.
    Everything you need to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots. These kits include polishing bobs in different shapes, sizes, and hardness ratings, along with buffing compounds. Use these bobs in a drill or grinder for bits and burs.
    Most buffing processes have two steps, cutting and coloring.
    1. Cutting removes scratches and surface imperfections.
    2. Coloring produces an even finish.
    Synthetic Felt—These bobs have more pores than wool felt. For soft and medium bobs, the pores make the head squishy for squeezing into small spaces. For hard and extra hard bobs, the pores dissipate heat during aggressive polishing to extend the bobs’ life and prevent damage to your workpiece.
    Soft—Create the finest finish and polish delicate materials.
    Hard—For aggressive material removal.
