Product Review
Metal polishing compounds that come in a wax, paraffin-oil or grease-based block/bar are often referred to generically as 'jeweler's rouge'. Rouge is French for red, and jeweler's rouge is a specific type of polishing compound that contains ferrous oxides and is used most typically to polish precious metals. We offer several different compounds (including red jeweler's rouge!) that contain various minerals and particles that color the block - each formulated for a specific cutting, polishing or buffing effect.
- The professional choice for bringing steel, aluminum and chrome to brilliant luster-apply small amount by holding against spinning buffing wheel or rub on cloth - no softening needed
- Green chromium-oxide has light cutting power to remove swirls and overlap lines in harder metals
- When a buffing wheel is spun against it the compound heats up and transfers to the wheel
- Large 6 oz 5" x 1" block is easier to use with powered buffers, lasts for dozens of polishing jobs
- Available in several colors/compositions for wide variety of materials and results; made in USA - brand may vary depending on availability
