When restoring hardened steel bench tools, knife blades, or heavily oxidized hardware, jumping straight to a high-gloss rouge is ineffective. The surface must first be prepped and leveled. Manufactured in Tokyo, Japan, the KOYO Green Rouge K-1 is a specialized buffing compound designed specifically for the preliminary gloss polishing of steel surfaces after #600-grit finishing or heavy rust removal.\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\"\u003eOptimized for Hard Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Unlike jewelry rouges that smear on hard ferrous metals, the K-1 formula utilizes a specific abrasive matrix that effectively cuts and polishes high-carbon steel, stainless steel, and iron.\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\"\u003eThe \"Rust Eraser\" Companion:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for the restoration process.
