Achieving a high-luster \"color\" on dense metals requires an abrasive that burnishes the surface without dragging. Manufactured in Tokyo, Japan, the KOYO ALOX-5 White Polishing Compound is engineered from carefully graded aluminum oxide abrasives. Designed as a final-stage polishing wax, it delivers a highly reflective, distinctive luster to Platinum, Titanium, and Stainless Steel. Crucially, it features a non-chromium formulation, making it a safer, modern alternative to traditional toxic metal rouges without sacrificing cutting or finishing power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eAdvantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExceptional on Platinum:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically blended to overcome the friction and \"gummy\" nature of raw platinum, leaving a flawless, mirror-like final finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNon-Chromium Formulation:\u003c\/b\u003e A major upgrade for workbench safety.

Use exclusively with fine, unstitched cotton mops or loose swansdown buffs. Using stiff felts or treated wheels will introduce unnecessary friction and prevent the compound from achieving its maximum reflective finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfa Mirage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459925753956,"sku":"CCCC00141","price":32.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/2902\/9732\/files\/koyo-alox-5-polishing-compound-white.jpg?v=1766469390","url":"https:\/\/luxgoldtools.com\/products\/alfa-mirage-polishing-compound-koyo-alox-5","provider":"LUXGOLDTOOLS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
