polishing compounds

[Steve AKA vitessesteve]

Recently picked up these bars of compound. Anybody got details of AAA branded compound. Am told the darker the colour the harder the cut. Before I start doing some tests just thought I would test the wisdom of the cloud.

Colours are fairly standard. Look on ebay or the silverline site and it'll tell you grades and materials they can be used on

This might be more useful as it includes advice on polishing, and for different metals:

PS Ignore the picture - I tried to copy the various colour grades from Silverline, and it didn't work.

Hello Steve,

it's not just the compound, you need different mops also.

Yes I already had some buffing wheels + a couple of bars.  I saw these unidentified blocks at a jumble 5 for £6 and decided to snap them up.  I will need to get some more mops now.
