I know this has been mentioned before, but is there a difference in the standard buffing compounds listed at
http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/buffing.htm
and the Menzerna buffing compounds listed at
http://grizzly.com/products/searchresul ... fing%20com
What is the best wheel for application of these compounds?
Spiral sewn cotton wheel
http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/sscw.htm
or
Loose cotton wheel
http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/loose.htm
Finally, Canton vs Domet flannel wheels for waxing.
TIA
Happy Easter,

buffing compounds and buffing wheels
The Caswell compounds are more "geared" toward buffing metal. They tend to be greasier than most. I have some of their compounds and they're greasy as heck. Not a problem for me, since I use them for metal buffing.
I really like the Menzerna for buffing non-metal. They're a bit more expensive, but the bars are quite a bit larger than those Caswell bars. I use the H0815 for final finsh before waxing. Use the spiral sewn to apply compound.
As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any difference between Domet and Canton wheels. Try searching for the loose flannel wheels that don't have the metal hub. It tends to increase the price. Also, make sure that the centre mounting hole is the same size as your buffer spindle.
