How does it work for you?

Their are many grades available and prices are according to how finely graded it is.

Well - I just finished a batch using the Mighty X Polish, and it has done the best job I've seen yet! I used Cerium Oxide before, and some white powder that came with a tumbler, and they were not NEARLY as good on my stuff! So... Mighty X or Aluminum Oxide (Micron size) for me!

It seems a little spendy compared to the aluminum oxide polish at the Rock Shed. On the other hand, if it works well for you then it's worth it. Chuck

It works great. Jason
