Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What metals is this green polishing compound suitable for?
A: This green abrasive polishing compound is suitable for a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium, gold, and silver. It is designed for the final finishing stage to produce a smooth, mirror-bright or high-gloss surface.
Q: What type of buffing wheel should I use with this compound?
A: For best results, use a pure cotton cloth wheel or muslin buffing wheel. The green polishing compound is typically used in the final colour-buffing stage, applied to a soft cloth wheel to achieve a mirror or polished finish on the workpiece.
Q: How do I apply the green polishing compound correctly?
A: With your buffing wheel spinning, gently press the green wax bar against the wheel to apply an even coating of compound. Then hold your metal workpiece firmly and move it in a smooth, parabolic motion against the rotating wheel. This ensures even coverage and a consistent, high-quality finish. Wipe away any residue with a clean cloth when done.
Q: What is the difference between green polishing compound and white polishing compound?
A: Green polishing compound is a fine-cut abrasive used for the finishing and colour-buffing stage, producing a mirror-like shine. White compound is similarly fine and is often used in tandem with green compound for the final stages of metal polishing. Both are suitable for soft metals and stainless steel.
