Our USA made gray stainless buffing compound is a versatile cut-and-color compound designed for stainless steel, steel, and other ferrous metals. It provides moderate to substantial cutting action to reduce surface imperfections while simultaneously brightening the metal and restoring its natural luster.
Gray Stainless works well as a general-purpose polishing compound or as the middle step after a more aggressive cutting compound. For best results, use with a firm spiral-sewn buffing wheel and follow with a finer finishing compound when a higher-gloss finish is desired.

Tip: Use Gray Stainless after a heavier cutting compound when significant surface correction is required, or use it alone as a versatile cut-and-color compound for general polishing. For a brighter final finish, clean the workpiece and follow with a finer polishing compound on a separate wheel.
Safety Tips/techniques:
Bring the compound to a spinning buffing wheel to transfer the compound onto the wheel.
Use a dedicated buffing wheel for each compound and clean the workpiece between polishing stages.
Follow the compound SDS and machine instructions. Wear appropriate eye/face and hearing protection, and use respiratory protection when required. Keep guards in place, secure the workpiece, and keep loose clothing, jewelry, hair, and gloves away from rotating parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gray Stainless is used for cutting, coloring, and brightening stainless steel, steel, and other ferrous metals while reducing surface imperfections.
No. It is also suitable for steel, other ferrous metals, chromium, and nickel.
It is a cut-and-color compound. It provides more cutting action than a final finishing compound while also improving color and brightness.
Yes. For general-purpose polishing where heavy correction or an ultra-high-gloss finish is not required, Gray Stainless can work well as a single cut-and-color step.
A firm spiral-sewn buffing wheel is recommended.
When aggressive scratch or surface correction is required, a heavier cutting compound such as Black Emery can be used first. Gray Stainless can then refine and brighten the surface before the final finishing stage.
It produces good color and brightness, but for the finest or mirror-bright finish, follow it with a finer finishing compound.
