    Hi all!

    I am wondering if any of you experts here would know which polishing buff is this?

    also i would be most grateful if you would be able to share some compounds and or buffs for extreme high-shine final polishing, if you have any to recommend!

    Many thanks!

    As said above wool mop, there as many different polishing mops as there are stars in the heavens most people will favor one or the other, pretty much the same with compounds try a few different types until you find one that suits you, a good one to try is Dialux another one is Menzerna the process is probably more significant than the products as most of the well known brands will give good results with good technique

    Some will still use tripoli and rouge, some will have moved on to Luxi because it's cleaner and now others swear by Menzerna which was originally a car polish. I'm in the middle, having moved on to Luxi but still find myself grabbing the rouge and sometimes tripoli and to hell with the mess, I find it cuts through any firestain better. As China said it's another thing that becomes a personal preference

    Id also say woolen mop.

    I still use tripoli and rouge, and the high shine that you mention is all based on the surface finish of the metal that you have achieved before polishing the piece.

    I used a woolen mop with fine rouge, on the inside of the rings I used cotton wool wound onto the spindle with fine red
