Thread: Is it a good idea to use paste on leater?

It is not the grit size that matters as much as the purity of the grit and the size.

Much of the Chrome Oxide that is sold is for polishing and contains other abrasives to cut faster. Some do not even contain Chrome Oxide or so little that they call it Green Polish. .5um is the acceptable grit size, some claim to go to .3. What you want is the polishing/smoothing ability of Chrome Oxide, not so much the keenness. Other pastes do keenness better.

I can only recommend paste that I have used and that are recommended for Razor use, SRD stick and spray, Hand America liquid and spray and Kremer Pigments 44200 Chrome Oxide.

It is not expensive and a purchase is more than a lifetime supply, so buy quality. And as I stated prior, once applied it can never be completely removed.
