I have been experimenting with Luxi blue and white compounds on
silver to see if they are cleaner and produce less fuzz than
traditional tripoli and red rouge. I like the blue very much. It
seems to cut and smooth as well if not better than tripoli. It is
also a lot easier to clean up. The White doesn’t seem to be much of
an improvement over red rouge, but it is cleaner. I started with
clean new buffs and gloves. I only have treated buffs and am curious
how this impacts the process as Luxi states that you should use
untreated cotton or felt buffs. I would appreciate comments
regarding other experiences with Luxi compounds and specifically the
impact of treated vs untreated buffs. I am also looking for a source
for 6" diameter by 1" wide tightly spiral sewn cotton buffs. I have
not seen them in years. If anyone has a suggestion for a source, I
would appreciate hearing about it. As always, thanks. Rob
