@renegadeusa: The Yellow Deluxe Polishing Compound from Renegade Products is a medium-cut metal polishing compound bar. Purpose • It’s designed for use on aluminum, stainless steel, and other soft metals as an intermediate step in a multi-stage polishing process. • It works especially well after a heavy-cut compound like Tripoli (T121) or Q36 Cut & Color, helping refine the surface and remove haze left behind from aggressive cutting. Characteristics • Color-coded yellow bar for easy identification in the shop. • Provides a brighter finish with less haze than a pure cutting compound but is not as soft as a final finishing rouge. • Balances between cutting ability and gloss enhancement—ideal for transitioning from cut to color stages. Recommended Use • Typically paired with airway buffing wheels such as a yellow treated airway or a spiral sewn wheel. • Suggested spindle/airway RPMs: 2,200–3,000 RPM for best results (on full-size buffers). • Apply the bar directly to the spinning wheel, then polish the metal surface in smooth, overlapping passes. 👉 In short: Yellow Deluxe is your go-to intermediate compound for bringing aluminum and stainless from a cut finish closer to a mirror polish before final rouge. @Renegade Products
