Product Description
Stainless Compound is made of “alumina” and grease binders. Developed for use on stainless steel, its fast cutting and good coloring properties are also a favorite for buffing all types of steel.
To remove sanding scratches from stainless, start out using a sisal buffing wheel with the Super Sisal Compound #F515-6154. You can then work your way up to a spiral sewn cotton buff using the All Purpose Stainless Compound, F-515-6147.
For a final high luster finish, use a loose cotton buffing wheel or canton flannel buff with the F515-6113 White Lightning Rouge.

BROWN/TRIPOLI BAR
The familiar brown or chocolate colored cakes of Tripoli Buffing Compound are one of the oldest and most widely used buffing compositions for cutting down and bringing out a high luster on non-ferrous metals. Its fast cutting and bright coloring action on such metals have created its wide use on all types of zinc die castings, sheet and cast brass, copper-plated work and aluminum castings and stampings.
For buffing down castings and stampings, a greasy grade is most generally selected because the extra percentage of grease binders keeps the compound on the buff face longer and hence the cutting action is greater. A second buffing operation using a drier grade of Tripoli Compound, can be used if a smoother and brighter finish is required. Practical with any type of buffing wheel but generally used on a tight, spiral sewed buff, pocket type buff or bias type buff.
