Just spoken with someone today who polishes geology samples.

he uses 15 micron Silicon Carbide 1.5 Micron Chrome Oxide and 0.5 - 30 micron Aluminum Oxide.

the pads on flat wheels made from velor


he tells me the bigest problem is the edges of the scratch - in that the polish does not penetrate but rather wipes off the paste like a scraper.

I'll make sure to ask for those items next time I'm in Halfrauds!

You should be able to pick them up no trouble at all. !
