Question 1

how hard is this stuff supposed to be? It is solid and does not come off on buffing wheel for drill

Accepted Answer

Buffing compounds are a wax base with a fine cutting abrasive mixed in.

You only want a tiny bit on the wheel at a time. You won't hardly be able to tell that it is coming off if you do it right. Medium pressure and only hold the compound on the wheel for a couple of seconds.

Work down in grits, starting with a courser grit first and followed by a finer grit.

Question 2

Is this product supposed to be rock hard? Just received and they are very hard. Need them to polish titanium, stainless steel and silver rings.

Accepted Answer

For hand polishing I bought an all steel can of almonds at Walmart. Broke up some of the bar and added some mineral oil to the can. Heated on a stove until it melted. You may have to add a bit more oil. It stays soft and the almond lid keeps it from getting hard. If it does get hard just add a little mineral oil and stir until it gets soft again.

Question 3

Can you be used to make semi chrome finish on aluminum that was painted over?

Accepted Answer

With 6 different grits in package with a bench buffer and good buffer wheels don’t see why not.
FYI I bought my inexpensive buffer from Harbor Freight and assortment of 3 or 4 buffer wheels from Amazon.
Good luck with your project!!!

Question 4

do you change wheels when you change grit? or do you just put he latest grit on top of the old grit?

Accepted Answer

I would use a separate wheel for each grit because you wouldn't want to use a fine grit over an aggressive grit as that would defeat the purpose of the fine grit reaching a shiny polish. Multiple polishing wheels are available from Amazon to use on a Dremel type tool.
