A. Bottini White Rouge Polishing Brick
The A. Bottini White Rouge Polishing Brick is a buffing compound in brick form for keeping tool blades up. BOE specifies it for buffing stainless, nickel, chrome, brass and iron.
It is a metal polishing compound, not a stone polishing compound — it belongs on a buffing wheel against steel, not on a slab. Where the job is cutting rust or dubbing an edge first, BOE builds the coarser A. Bottini Black Emery Cake.
