What is the general consensus on buffs using the menzerna compounds? Use linen/flannel for all steps or ? Looking to change buffs if needed and need to know what I should get. What manufacturers for decent buffs at not bank breaking prices. I'm using 8" wheels. I'm looking at you George and Jeremiah.

I have a Muslim wheel for Tripoli from Tim West, and a flannel for the fine, also from Tim West. He put together the best combination a while back and so far nobody has made anything better.

Thanks Jeremiah, How's the menzerna working out with this combo?

I’m really liking the Menzerna. It does get a better shine, there’s no doubt about that. I’ve used the Tim West buffs for a few years already. I keep some Beal buffs for brass and other metals and keep my West wheels just for the briar and stems.

Jeremiah, I have yet to encounter a "Muslim" wheel. I have numerous muslin buffing wheels but I'm really curious as to the purpose of a Muslim wheel.

Aargh! Darned autocorrect! I definitely wasn’t envisioning any recycled hijabs in this scenario.

Being in Minnesota, Jeremiah might have actually MEANT Muslim, and now is just trying to do cover his ass to avoid getting blown up.
