    Bowl buffing

    I bought a bowl buffing set up a while ago. The white diamond and the tripoli are hard and crumbly making it hard to put it on the pads. Is this normal or did I get some old polishes?

    Buffing out a varnish finish

    Has anyone used an buffing machine and auto polishing compound to get the dust nibs out of a varnish finish? If so could you explain the technique you used. example: Did you use water to keep the polish from drying before you got everything smoothed out.
