I do use two courser compounds before rouge. Yellow Dialux really
cuts silver, and then Fabulustre is in between that and the rouge.
It says it gives a final finish, but it's not as good as rouge so I
use it as an intermediate. I clean the piece in my ultrasonic with
soapy, ammoniated water between each stage so as not to contaminate.
I think the offending stage is the rubber wheels I've been using.
Thinking about it - and after Jo Haemer mentioned them - I don't
think I had this problem before I started to use them. I prefer using
them to using sandpaper, as they go in the flexshaft and I don't get
that horrible dry, sanded fingertip feeling. However, I'm going to
have to put up with that and use the sandpaper type abrasives I
think. That seems to be the consensus.
Thanks for the input.
