Dico 7100116 White Rouge Polishing Compound

Product Description

The DICO 7100116 is a white rouge polishing compound designed for use on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. White rouge is a fine abrasive compound used in the final stages of metal finishing to produce a high-luster, mirror-like polish. It removes fine scratches, oxidation, and surface imperfections left by earlier cutting compounds. This type of compound is a standard consumable in metal fabrication, HVAC component finishing, plumbing fixture work, and general maintenance shops where polished metal surfaces are required. Each package contains one bar or unit of compound ready for use with a buffing wheel or polishing pad.

White rouge compound is used across a wide range of metal finishing applications in both residential and commercial settings. It is suitable for final buffing on steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Typical use cases include finishing HVAC components, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and decorative metalwork. It is applied with a cloth or sisal buffing wheel mounted to a bench grinder or rotary tool to achieve a clean, polished surface.
