    Hi I used green compound that I got in my dremel kit then a white compound I got from a Bunnings store here in Oz that was it sorry I cant tell you the name im overseas at the moment I found if you spend a good amount of time on wet and dry sandpapers I dont think the compounds will make a massive difference but saying that I want to try jewelers rouge and see if that helps a bit more cheers
