Polish For Gorgeous Mirror Finishes On Steel, Aluminum And More
"Good Old Five-Fifty-Five" as the boys call it. This is the "secret" that master polishers use to give that mirror finish to the gun after Polish-O-Ray® 500. For the brightest possible finishes, we recommend hard felt, followed by loose muslin for each grit as you progress through them. You can stop with any of the three grits when the desired level of finish is achieved. Suggest you experiment to find the combo and sequence you like best in your shop. The coarsest of the three, so you can move to the 555 family sooner. Great as a Coloring polish for aluminum after the final sanding steps. Follow with Gray on steel, skip to White on aluminum.
SPECS: All packed 3 lb. (1.36kg) net weight in cardboard tube.

I'm a knifemaker and have recently stared making knives for the leather trade. Leatherworkers traditionally have used a red "jeweler's rouge" to buff and strop their knives, but that compound is just not intended for steel. I've been recommending the 555 black to them as I've found it not only "cuts" the steel, actually taking off just enough material to sharpen, but also leaves a nice bright and shiny smooth finish that glides through the leather. I also use this compound as a preliminary buff for finishing my regular knives as well. This compound is not too "dry" either, so it rubs into a leather stropping board very well and does not flake off with use. I highly recommend this, and all the other compounds in the "555" line.
