You can use polishing compounds to remove light scratches and oxidation from surfaces. They are abrasive compounds that return dull or slightly rough surfaces to a brilliant shine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They do this by removing microscopic layers of materials. <\/p>\n\n\n
Polishing Compound Categories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThere are different categories of polishing compounds depending on their intended uses. Here, we present a short explanation of each. <\/p>\n\n\n
Tripolis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nTripolis polish, often referred to as cutting compound, is the coarsest buffing compound. In most cases, they are used to create semi-gloss finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, people use them as the first step toward creating much shinier finishes. Tripoli polishes do an excellent job of removing emery marks, light scratches, and oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n
Intermediates <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nIntermediate metal polishing compounds provide the soft gleam found on stainless steel<\/a> countertops. While tripolis compounds leave a slightly dull finish, intermediates offer a bit of luster. They still cut fairly aggressively but have a finer grit than Tripolis.<\/p>\n\n\nFinishing Rouges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nNext, finishing rouge is also known as finishing compound. The most exemplary polishing compounds, finishing rouges, create a high-luster finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

This section will outline the different colors of polishing compounds and how to use them. <\/p>\n\n\n
Tripoli Brown Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nYou use a brown polishing compound to create a soft luster finish. The most common uses include polishing soft metals such as Aluminum<\/a>, copper, and brass<\/a>. You can even use it on wood.<\/p>\n\n\nGreen Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe green polishing compound is often called stainless steel polish. It provides a soft sheen and is a favorite compound for knives and commercial kitchen equipment. Its most common use is on stainless. <\/p>\n\n\n
White Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe white polishing compound is more acceptable than green, most commonly used on stainless and harder metals. It also provides a bit more shine. Another frequent use for white combinations is an intermediate step towards a mirror finish.<\/p>\n\n\n
Greystar Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nMainly used by jewelers<\/a>, the grey star compound brings out the colors of precious metals.<\/p>\n\n\nBlue Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nUse a blue polishing compound to put a soft luster on synthetic materials, plastics, and softer metals.<\/p>\n\n\n
Pink Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nPink is considered a dual-purpose buffing compound used for the final stage of polishing soft metals. However, you can also use it as the final polish on harder metals.<\/p>\n\n\n
Black Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nMost often used to polish stee<\/a>l, brass, copper<\/a>, Aluminum, and similar metals.<\/p>\n\n\nAluminum Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nUsed to polish Aluminum <\/a>and other soft metals.<\/p>\n\n\nYellow Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThis dry compound is popular in the jewelry industry and puts a high sheen on gold, silver, and platinum.<\/p>\n\n\n
Gold Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nJewelers and metalworkers<\/a> alike use gold polish to achieve a high gloss finish.<\/p>\n\n\nFabulustre Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nA dry compound that produces a mirror-like finish<\/p>\n\n\n
Zam Polishing Compound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nA brand of polish consists of a mix of aluminum and chromium. Most often used to buff the metal.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Identify your material- as noted, different compounds are better suited for other materials. You must know what you are polishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Asses surface condition- The condition of the surface to be polished will help you know what color of polishing compound (grit) to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Choose your polishing compound- Choose the least aggressive compound with the above information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Apply Polishing compound- Place a mixture on your cloth or buffing pad. It doesn’t take much. In this case, less is more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Using a circular motion, work your way up and down the surface, applying even pressure. If using a mechanical buffer, be sure to keep it moving. Otherwise, you may burn the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. If satisfied with the results, clean the surface and finish. If you want a higher shine, go to a less aggressive (higher grit) compound and repeat steps 4-6.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Identify your material- as noted, different compounds are better suited for other materials. You must know what you are polishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Asses surface condition- The condition of the surface to be polished will help you know what color of polishing compound (grit) to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Choose your polishing compound- Choose the least aggressive compound with the above information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Apply Polishing compound- Place a mixture on your cloth or buffing pad. It doesn’t take much. In this case, less is more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Using a circular motion, work your way up and down the surface, applying even pressure. If using a mechanical buffer, be sure to keep it moving. Otherwise, you may burn the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. If satisfied with the results, clean the surface and finish. If you want a higher shine, go to a less aggressive (higher grit) compound and repeat steps 4-6.<\/p>\n\n\n
