Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose by the finish you want and the mop you have; the table shows which mop each compound goes with. Grey compound is for cutting back. Red compound is the general purpose option for copper, brass, aluminium and most other metals. Green is for a high gloss finish on copper, brass and stainless steel, and white is for finishing aluminium and aluminium alloys. Avoid using different compounds on one mop: keep a separate mop for each compound and label it clearly.
