Polishing compounds (Also known as buffing compounds),
are fine abrasive fillers combined with greases and
formed into solid bars, pastes, or liquids. In the axle
modifications, they are replaced by the highest grit
level sandpapers. Finishing compounds, however, such
as Jeweler’s Rouge, Fabulustre, or Blue Magic represent
the highest level of buffing for fine and precious
metals. They will bring out the maximum luster and
create a mirror like finish to your axles.
Blinding finish and blinding speed for your pinewood
derby racer!
Blue Magic Metal Polishing Cream is the most effective
option for providing the final finish to the axles and
is, according to Shor International, a leading
manufacturer of polishing and finishing compounds, the
finest finishing compound available today.
As a
cream, it is easily applied to the axles using a soft
cloth as shown in figure 1.

Spin the
axle in the cream for about 30-45 seconds or until the
metal appears through a black film as shown in figure
2. Wipe off the axle thoroughly with a clean soft cloth
then put some sunglasses on before you look at the
finished product.
