I use pumice and rottensone. I want to use five f after them to get higher polish/shine but Brownells doesn’t know when they will restock. I am thinking about trying 3M perfect-it III.
I wonder how well dichotomous earth would work? It is a very fine abrasive, cheap, and easily found at any garden center and most hardware stores.
I have never ran across and polish that will do the job 5F will. It puts a brilliant high shine on metals and plastics. I am about out, looks like I might have waited too long to restock. james
automotive rubbing compound for removing water spots!
If you try it would you put it out on here. I too am getting close to about out.Quote:

Flitz will polish just about anything.
I get rotten stone at Rockler. I buy Flitz in a can, not in a tube. That is how much I use it. Rotten stone and mineral oil is what I rub out oil finishes with. It gives a luster that is better than anything else I’ve tried. I let the stock cure for a month or so before giving it a rub down. Then a couple coats of Ren Wax.
I think that McGuires Ultimate Polish might be very close to what you are looking for too. The luthiers around here use it after McGuires Ultimate Compound to get a final high polish. I think most of them use the Ultimate Polish, I think their choice before the final coat isn’t as consistent.
Speling is hart!Quote:
