Buffing Compounds

buffing compounds, tripoli, stainless, color compound

A few things to remember about Buffing Compounds.
1. Never mix compounds on the same wheel.
2. Never use compounds on any type of coated or plated surface.
3. There are hundreds of compound types available. Each will produce a different result.
This does not mean one is better than the other, it simply means that each is for a specific purpose.
