1 lb. Brown Tripoli Polishing Compound

Polish gloss guitar finish

Tripoli is a must for anyone doing any serious polishing. I gave this product only 3 stars because of the condition it came in. It was either really old product, and/or it had been kept in a very hot environment. I have never purchased a polishing bar that looked like this. I would have the product replaced, but I am afraid I'm going to get the same thing sent to me. UPDATE 2023-09-12: I contacted Elkay yesterday, and they were very apologetic about the bar's condition. They do not have control over how the bars are stored or handled on the Amazon sites. They promptly ordered a replacement for me, which I should receive soon. I really appreciate their handling of the matter. Because of their support, I am upgrading my review to 5 stars.

This rouge is very decent. It does have a tendency to get very soft and even melt in direct sunlight. Has a higher oil content that the more expensive small jewelry rouge. The only problem I had was it was hard to carry the whole bar. It does break in half super easy. I went through 12 bars on a very heavy oxidized 18 foot airstream. Worked great.

Would definitely recommend and buy again if your polishing stainless steel or even polished aluminum it works great !

Only complaint, I wish it came in a box, rather than a plastic wrapped (throw away) package. Would be nice to be able to use it, and store it in its own container...made my own 'polishing' box, with places for all the compounds...still would be nice to have a box to remember the compound/grit, etc.
