Selecting Buffing
Compounds
Most colors of abrasives have similar applica-
tions, but always check with the manufacturer of
your particular compound.
Grizzly offers the following compounds:
Red Rouge — Made for fine polishing on brass
and gold. Provides an excellent shine when used
with the loose muslin buffing wheel.
Green (Extra Fine) — Great for extra-fine pol-
ishing on most metals to bring out that mirror fin-
ish. Works best with loose muslin and spiral
sewn buffing wheels.
White — Great for ivory, plastic and resins when
used successively with the soft spiral sewn and
soft airway buffing wheels.
Black — Designed to be used with sisal and air-
way hard buffing wheels, this compound is per-
fect for the initial rough cut on stainless steel and
iron.
Tripoli — A true middle-of-the-road abrasive,
Tripoli provides an excellent medium cut for
brass, aluminum and zinc alloy.
Green (Fine) — Slightly more abrasive than the
extra-fine green, this green compound is great
for a medium-to-fine polish with most softer
metals.
