Hi Travis

Yeh, I've also used the same technique, and used Speedstone, or rottenstone, and about any light oil will work. There are commercially made oils for rubbing finishes, but, I just use a good light, 10 weight and the rottenstone. You can polish to a nice satin finish or take it to mirror type finish. Just keep it wet with the oil.

Personally, I would think it easier to use an Auto polish with the jewelers rouge in the blend. A bit finer and easier to use. A little foam pad cut to curve on your ROS ( use spray adhesive on old sandpaper disk ) and it will be like waxing your car, only quicker. I don't recall the brand names as around here, a fellow named "Blackie" Gijian(?) makes it himself. About $20 for 1 1/2 ltr. bottle. Ian could probable help with name brands. The local bike shops or other paint shops use it to polish up some of the wild paint jobs after using the 2-part poly clear-coats. Looks like water on the surface.
