Get the cutting action you need without sacrificing the finish with our Benchmark Abrasives Pink Cut & Color Polishing Compound. Designed as a versatile pre-polishing compound for stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals, its 8/10 cut rating provides the strength to refine surface imperfections while simultaneously beginning to develop a smoother, brighter finish.
Unlike aggressive cutting compounds that focus almost entirely on material removal, this compound delivers a more balanced 5/10 gloss rating, making it an excellent choice when you want to cut and color in the same step. Use it after an aggressive cutting compound to refine the surface while beginning to develop brightness and luster. Its balanced cut-and-color performance makes it an ideal second-stage compound before moving to the finer polishing and finishing steps.
Clean, Easy-Handling Packaging: Each polishing compound bar is wrapped in a protective, easy-to-handle package designed to keep the compound off your hands and make application to the buffing wheel or felt polishing media cleaner and more controlled. A convenient peel-open zipper runs along the side of the package, allowing you to expose only the portion of the compound you need while leaving the rest of the bar covered and protected. As the bar wears down, simply peel the packaging back further. A color-coded bottom provides quick visual identification, making it easy to grab the correct compound when multiple cutting and finishing compounds are being used at the same workstation.
Quantity: 1 piece

Weight – 1 lb. bar
Product Features
Balanced cutting and coloring action in a single compound
Recommended for stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals
TIP: For stainless steel and nickel/chrome, use after Black and follow with Green for high gloss. For hard metals, use after Black, then continue with Blue and finish with Green.
Safety Tips/techniques:
Lightly bring the compound bar into contact with the spinning buffing wheel or felt polishing media to charge the polishing surface.
Pink polishing compound is used for cutting and pre-polishing a wide variety of metals. It combines strong cutting action with moderate gloss, making it useful when both surface refinement and improved finish are desired.
Cut refers to the compound's ability to remove or refine surface imperfections, while color refers to its ability to improve brightness and gloss. This compound performs both functions, allowing it to bridge the gap between heavy cutting and final finishing.
Yes. Stainless steel is one of the recommended applications for this compound.
Yes. It is recommended for aluminum and aluminum alloys, brass, and other non-ferrous metals.
It can produce moderate gloss, but it is primarily a cutting and pre-polishing compound. For maximum brightness or a high-gloss finish, follow it with a finer finishing compound.
Yes. Using a dedicated wheel for each compound helps prevent coarser abrasive residue from contaminating finer polishing stages.
