Looking for advice on how to buff out a very tiny mark that is too deep for a just a cape cod treatment unless I wanted to work on it for several hours. Has any one used a felt wheel on a dremmel with some compound on it or is there another suggestion where the application is more aggressive than the Cape Cod cloth? The plan would be to use the Cape Cod cloth after the first application to bring back the high gloss. This is on the top surface of a lug on a SOH. Thanks

Dremel with a felt wheel and some compound will get it out.

Ive used green, white, and burgundy. I dont really remember which worked best though. Get whichever one is for a high polish. It should be very fine. The other ones will be for deeper resurfacing, and all you want is basically a final polish.

If you do a search here, there was an old thread by Admin that discussed his experience with the different colors.

The secret should be green rouge compound.

In dentistry fine red rouge works vey well on gold and makes a pheomenol polished surface with a minute removal of metal.

Thread hijacking a bit here....but also pertinent for anyone who comes upon this thread in the future...

What kind of pressure should be used? I assume start lightly and go from there. However, even a light pressure can provide serious error. Also, what about speed? High speed? Low speed? Does it matter?

Thanks

Start low, speed up if necessary. Always make sure you have enough compound applied to the wheel or you can cause a lot of problems for yourself. I didnt find any need to worry about pressure, as long as there was enough compound (not a highly abrasive compound, of course).

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. On the lookout for a good quality piece of stainless steel to practice on.
