Diamond Paste Polishing and Lapping Compound Kit, 6 Pack, 450-80,000 Grit

Scratches in mineral glass, Hardlex, saphire, and poly watch crystals have met their match! Very effective, affordable, and high-quality diamond compound pastes in an effective range of grit. The oil-based compound is easy to spread yet keeps where you want it. It (and a handful of dremel-type, cone-shaped buffing bits) took what I thought would be a tedious job to polish a deeply scratched mineral watch crystal into a job completed in mere minutes. So easy, in fact, that kept going and polished every watch crystal and steel case in my household with even a hint of a scratch. I even used the two finest of the grits on some older watches with poly crystals and brought them to a glorious clarity and luster. As a watch enthusiast, this stuff is a game changer. I can’t wait to try it on my knives and cutting tools. One (obvious) hint- In order to work effectively, it’s important to remove all grit/compound prior to moving to a finer grit. With a handful of colored markers, I mark a small patch on each diamond paste label, then colored the top of the corresponding buffing pad/wheel/dremel bit in the same color. It makes cycling grits as easy as wiping down the workpiece with a microfiber cloth and changing dremel bits. Because the pads absorb a bit of compound, this is really the only way to not mix grits without tossing pads after a single use.

Works great and a little bit can polish a fairly large area. I used this to restore a 40 year old American Standard china bathroom sink. After decades of use it was very hazy and drab looking. I cleaned the sink then wiped it with Windex. Then used a terry cloth and the 6000 grit to start the process. Just a few dabs. Using a circular motion I polished the area. Then turn the cloth to the clean side and wiped the residue off. Then I repeated that process with 15000, followed by 80000. It is important to move to a clean area of your polishing towel every time you finish with one type of grit. If you use a towel with courser grit residue on it you won't get a fine finish. When I was done I used another clean cloth to polish off all remaining residue. The results were excellent if not better than new! The finish almost resembles glass. I love restoring things like this that might have otherwise gone to the landfill. Plus I save the time, money, and effort to put in a new sink. Very pleased. NOTE: Always practice on another item or in an area that is hidden. Once you see how it works then carefully start on the item you want to polish. I've only used this on a china sink, but pretty sure it would work on similar materials like glass or glazed ceramic that has a haze. Have not tried on metal or other materials yet. The key is to start small and gentle until you see if it's compatible and effective. Keep in mind that this isn't for deep scratches. Deep scratches would need smoothing first. UPDATE: I've now used this on metal and hard plastic and it worked amazing. I don't recommend it for paint or any soft material because the diamond grit might embed leaving a dark area. It is generally best for hard finishes. It works great but always test a sample area before applying to a visible surface. Be careful if using on a plated metal surface or chromed plastic. It could potentially remove the thin plating. Just start out slow and get the feel of how it's working on an item you are polishing. You can wipe off polish residue with a dry clean cloth and use Clear Windex (not the blue or yellow kind) to get it really clean.

Product is easy to use, the syringe style allows more control when applying. You get a super glossy shine when rotory tool is used. Also does a great job just applying with a piece of denim. Will definitely order more.

geat product for the price worked well

This stuff worked great for my Scratched G-Shock glass screen. I started with the 450 paste using a dremel and cloth polishing wheel. I spent about 45 minutes on that grit and didn’t see much progress. Not sure why. I was about to give up then on a whim decided to jump to 6000 and in about 5 minutes the scratches were gone. I was shocked. It looked great at that point but went ahead and finished it off with a couple of the higher grits. Make sure you clean between grits very well and use different buffing wheels as you go. Highly recommended.

What a great polishing kit to have! Terriffic for harder materials. Thank you

Unknown if the paste does any thing on my first try. The paste seems to be too fine to notice a different. Maybe just me, so only 3 stars.

Glad I went with this instead of polywatch which cost 30 dollars. I have a mineral crystal watch with scratches and cloudy surface which I made the mistake of polishing it with toothpaste as some internet life hack suggests and made it even more cloudy. After some shopping around, I decided to go with this product and give it a try before buying the polywatch since this product is much cheaper. I polished the crystal starting with 1500 then 6000 grits using microfiber cloth with this product and was already amazed by how much improvement I am seeing on the watch's crystal. By 15000 grits, it already have a mirror finish with the cloudiness already gone, any grits beyond that is pretty much over kill. I high recommend this product, this is perhaps the first product I purchased on amazon that work as advertised and I am very happy with with 0 buyer remorse. The only down side i can say is I did not expect the metal of my watch to have a mirror finish as well which changed my watch's original aesthetic, so be sure to use a masking tape on any area you don't want polished. Also, wear a glove, this thing is really hard to get off your skin.

Buen producto pero es recomendable comprar también alguna máquina para pulir

By hand, I was able to bring back three watch crystals from scratched (one very heavily and deeply scratched) to near brand-new condition. I'm very impressed with these diamond polishes, very impressed - they work! Unfortunately, I've used up the 450 and 1500 grit tubes, so have to buy another. The cost/benefit ratio is excellent, though!

Using it to polish cabachons, it is working great! Will buy again, thank you

I have been useing this on opal. And its comeing out amazing. I highly recommend you do what ever method your doing to shape. Then start at the lowest grit. Clean off the deep scratches. You may need to do this a few times. I know i had to do this do to the odd little deep scratch. But then go up the grits from there. I have been getting glass shines and they look amazing.

Bon produit
