I came across some polishing compounds and wondered if any of our group uses anything like this?

I started looking around and saw other polishing compounds. I thought it may be another tool in the toolbox to shine up some material. Is Zam available in hardware stores?

Works the same as zam. I don't think hardware stores would have it. Fabuluster is another popular one.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
