Where to get buffing compounds?
|

As the title says... where do you find these? I checked home depot and they only had small amounts of it and sold it in a kit. I just want to get more bricks and it didnt even come with the green 'finishing polish'. What kind of stores would be my best bet?

Another minor source is the discount tool places but to get the big bars you'd have to call around or check out this guy (or others) on eBay:

You can use the P-series polishes. Really good stuff, and Paul is a great guy.

Any of the local truck stops is a good place to buy buffing compound. They sell large sticks usually in emery, tripoli, green and white. If you just want to buy one kind the green is a good all around polish that works well on a lot of differant metals. Grind a little of the green rouge with a cheese grater mix it with mineral oil and you have a great aluminum-brass and stainless polish.

There is a Pilot Travel Center on the west side of Columbus and and another just south of 270 on I71 they are a good source for Mother's and Blue Magic Cheaper than Wall Mart or Napa but you have to buy a big jar. A great source for odd ball shaped buffers and jewelers rouge is a Peterbilt dealership or any big truck chrome shop Their prices are competitive Lots of Aluminum on trucks
