Does anyone have any ideas/opinions about Pro Polish? Where to get it? Is it worth buying?

Never heard of that particular polish. A large percentage of folks here are using sub micron aluminum oxide polish from www.therockshed.com with great results. It is relatively inexpensive and seems to work great on a wide variety of rocks. Chuck

I use polishes and abrasives from the Rock Shed with great results for materials that will vibe polish. Shawn is also very knowledgeable and will help in giving great directions for what he sells.

I use PRO POLISH PADS from riogrande.com for polishing sterling et al. Does the job well.

Does anyone have any ideas/opinions about Pro Polish? Where to get it? Is it worth buying? For me, the big question is what are you trying to do?

Does anyone have any ideas/opinions about Pro Polish? Where to get it? Is it worth buying? It seems like I have heard of Pro-Polish but I use #61 Rapid Polish which is sub-Micron @ .3 micron is a lil expensive @ $13.99 a lb and thats if you buy 5 lbs. But I can tell the difference between 1.5 Micron That Shawn Sells at TRS abd the #61 Rapid Polish. I use mostly all of Shawn Grits he sells 80,220,500, 1000, and 1.5 micron I Buy my 30 Grit elsewhere and the #61 Rapid Polish from rocktumbler.com/polish/ For a Lot O I think its a teaspoon or less. As I said I can definitely tell the difference. But Some guys can polish a Dog Turd with turtle wax and make it look better than my rocks. So Personally I like it Thumbs Up!

Well a good rain will do the same thing.
