    Have you considered using Zam instead of rouge? It's cleaner to work
    with and gets good results. 

    One bench trick that I have found with the use of fabuluster, on
    gold, and your flex shaft is to use it with the stiff bristle brushes
    and a little Wintergreen oil or liquid bur life.  This makes a kind
    of gray mess, at first but once you get through the sludge it creates
    all of the sudden you have a really great shine pop through.  I
    learned this from a really great stone setter from South America some
    30+ years ago.  He did all his bright cutting or pave and when he was
    done he hit it with fabuluster and Wintergreen.  It was a beautiful
    thing to watch. 

    I agree that for general use as a polish it is ok but does not give
    the best polish.  There are many other products which will do better.
    With the stiff brushes and for certain applications, it is hard to
    beat. 

Have a great day,
