Hi mikew,
Caswell Europe are a good source of buffing equipment and rouges I believe! Here is there site:
Caswell Europe, Electroplating and Powdercoating systems for small commercial workshops or home restorer
Hopefully they can sort you out with what you're after...! :)
Good luck and keep us posted!
Wow! Just spoke to someone at casewells and have learned more about polishing metal in five minutes than I have in years of messing around on my own. They can get greaseless compounds but he recomends using the compounds listed here Buffing Wheel Supplies Mops and Compounds
From his detailed description of each of them they sound perfect. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks.
heres another supplier in UK Metal Buffing Kit; Metal Polishing Kits
Why greaseless?
I know it's a mess to get everything cleaned up but you also want it to stick good to your buffers.
Some of the fattiest ones are quite easy to clean with hot water and dish up liquid.
The really messy ones contain either heavy fats or worse waxes.
They usually need hot ammonia in an ultrasound bath.
