Brown Tripoli Bar (1 Lb). Brown Tripoli compound is a type of polishing agent that has a medium abrasive and is primarily used to remove scratches and firescale from metal surfaces. It is ideal for providing a pre-polish finish on most metals, giving them a smooth and polished appearance. To apply the Tripoli compound, simply spin a buffing wheel on a motor or drill and gently press the compound onto the wheel. As the wheel spins, the heat and friction generated will transfer a small amount of the compound onto the wheel for polishing.
It is important to note that there is a significant difference between the Tripoli and rouge compounds. While rouges are mainly used for polishing and finishing work, Tripoli compounds are used for cutting and buffing to remove scratches from the metal. If you compare the two compounds, you will notice that rouges provide a high-gloss shine, whereas Tripoli compounds are primarily used to remove imperfections and scratches, resulting in a smooth and even surface.
