ENKAY - Jewelers Rouge & Polishing Compound Kit, 4 pc. (U.S. Made)

Good selection of polishing compound. Works well with dremel wool felt bits.

I use this product all the time!! I LOVE these things. As a silversmith, I use them constantly and they definitely get the work done!!

The Amazon and vendor information on this product is lacking. Amazon should include the picture of the back of the packaging as shown in my photo. I was looking only to polish steel, but was unsure so I order this set. OnceI received, I realized I only needed the black. I recommend that if you are looking to polish one particular metal, that you buy just the polishing stick you need, and not the full set. Even the Enkay website was not clear on which color applies to which metal. So I bought three extra sticks that I don't really need at this time, so thats why my value rating is low. The sticks are easy to use, but you do need a buffing wheel. As other commenters have noted, this is a stick of hard, wax like substance and you apply it directly to the buffing wheel as its rotating and you are polishing the part, The picture of the polished item was a very rusted knob from an old South Bend lathe. You can still see some of the pits from the rust, but the Enkay black stick and buffing wheel did remove the rust and it polished up nicely and has a nice shine now.

Like most people, I only needed a little bit of polishing compound kit. Just enough to do some occasional chores.This gave me the polishing compound that I needed in a size that was useful. The pieces are large enough to easily use. There well-made. They don't crumble. In the product is good.The downside is that they come in a plastic package and there's no way to store the items when you're done. It would've been nice if they had put a little plastic or wooden case in their to keep the items clean and stored separately. I was end up shoving these items into a drawer and wish I had a simple case to put them back in to keep them from being damaged

Will buy again when needed

Stays crunchy, even in milk. Very tasty.Okay, that was a lie.This stuff is not as effective as the big bricks from Allied, but for a home shop they do okay for buffing brass instruments. I really only use the red rouge and the Tripoli compound for brass, but I have use the black and white for stuff, too. All work pretty well. When I get my Ferree's floor-mounted buffing machine I will move to the larger, higher quality bricks. For now with my little stand-mounted Harbor Freight buffer this stuff works really well and the price is right.

I don't pay attention to product weights or dimensions in Amazon descriptions because they are frequently wrong -- or pointless. They often tell you the shipping weight or size of the packaging, rather than the product itself. As a result I did not note how huge these things are. Five inches long by one-inch square. That's a lot of compound! This is sized for a machine shop. For a casual crafter, this is probably a lifetime supply. Given the price this is good value for money. I don't like the packaging at all. It would be better if each of the four blocks had its own plastic sheath -- or if the overall "display packaging" were a bit more compact, so that it could be used as a carrying case.

Can I blame the product when the compound stick is fragile? I dropped one of mine the first day and it split into about 6 pieces on the floor. Still works fine but the sticks do break easily. The product does work well.

Hasta ahora el producto ha respondido bien a mis expectativas, las pastas son de tamaño considerable y hacen su trabajo, se pueden pulir varios materiales con ellas

Like some others have said.. there was no real packaging like in the picture. They just came in a zip lock bag and each one was shrink wrapped. Each one is about 4.5 inches long and almost 1 inch thick. These are really the only 4 types you will need to get up and running with most polishing materials. Great for Gold and Silver items. These should last an experienced, novice or beginner jeweler at least a year easily. If your running a commercial operation and your polishing items every single day.. You might want larger blocks. Cheers

Used them on my cymbals and hardware.... brilliant shine

Los pulimentos sirvieron bien. Te entregan 4 barras que en total suman 450gramos. Con una medida de cada barra de 2cm de alto x 2.5cm ancho x 11.5 cm de largo. Son 4 compuestos distintos.

Works okay as a polishing compound. Bars break in half to easily
