I've be using one polishing wheel and a pack of rouge sticks for 20 years. That's how rarely we edge polish. Recently my son decided to polish some metal car parts on it! ...and stained the pad beyond lens use. My original 4" wheel (after misuse) and rouge are pictured. I'm trying to find suitable replacements.
I polish CR-39, poly, 1.60 and 1.67. No glass and no Trivex as of now.
I see so many types of wheels available that I'm stumped, including:
Dixel Cotton Flannel Buff
Solid Felt Buff
Soft Felt Buff
Woven Yarn Buff
Muslin Berry Buff
Dixel Unbleached Muslin
Super Buff
Dixel Extra Fine
Dixel Yellow Treated
I see rouge in:
White, red, yellow, blue, Zam, Wonderbar and green.
Can someone please advise me which wheel is best suited as a replacement - and which rouge I should get for the future? I attached some available types from Hilco and Optisource.
Thanks for your advice. Really appreciate your expertise!
