This product is denser, dryer, harder than I had hoped. It is difficult to “shave off” a small portion to use on my kitchen sink. It does slowly buff out shallow scratches in my sink.

The abrasive worked extremely well on these museum pieces. These are clear acrylic blocks containing various insects and such. Some of the blocks have started changing color as they are so old. The blocks were badly scratched and abraded to the point that they were unusable under the microscope. With sanding and polishing, the blocks were restored to original or better than original condition.

so I use this on a leather strop to get my blades razor sharp...you might find that it is hard to get this stuff to stick to the strop...the best way ive found is to lightly sand the strop with some 150 or 220 sand paper so as to "scuff" the top layer of leather very lightly so the compound has something to grab onto...then use a heat gun to heat up the end of the compound bar until it is warm enough to easily spread onto the leather surface...it will take multiple heats and spreads to cover the strop because the bar cools quickly once you press it onto the strop....do not overheat the compound bar or you will cook the oils right out of the compound that are baked into it during manufacturing...after coating the strop, the layer of compound will be very uneven...the best way i've found to level it out is to use a floor scraper blade that is as wide or wider than the strop, heat the strop up just a little bit to make the compound soft enough to "spread" just a bit, and gently drag the blade over the compound and attempt to level it...this too will require several passes, depending on how big your strop is...and again, don't overheat the compound...if you cook it too much it will become dry and cracked and will just fall off when you begin to use your strop...you will not be able to get your compound perfectly level and even across the entire strop...you can continue to lightly scrape the surface of the compound with the scraper blade when the surface is cooled off to achieve maximum level...but it will never be perfect and it does not have to be perfect...reasonably level is good enough..as you use the strop, the surface will become more and more level with each pass of the blade...one complaint I have is that Benchmark was unable or unwilling to provide me with a list of their compounds and the corresponding grit of these compounds...which would seem to be a fairly important detail with abrasives...I asked for the grits of their compounds and their response was "We do not publish that information"...which again, I find odd since it is important to know the grit of any abrasive you are using...maybe it is all hand made and therefore the grit is always slightly different so they don't want to put a number on it...I really can't come up with any logical reason they won't say what the grit is...I just know that they should at least give a rough estimate or range of the grit so you aren't using a rougher grit after a polishing grit without knowing it...after looking at other compounds from other manufacturers I know the color schemes and grits associated with the colors are not universal across the industry so you can't use grit charts from other companies and relate those numbers to the same color compounds of different companies...the stuff works, but who knows what grit it is

It provides a great surface polish on tempered steel, easy to use, I recommend a felt polishing disc as the polish gets applied quickly.

Worked good on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 cleaning all the dug in dirt from years of neglect. Now it’s ready for wax.
