Hi all,

I have almost finished up my favorite polish which I purchased from Stew Mac nearly 20 years ago and would love to know who the original manufacturer is/was. I think Stew Mac took an existing product and re-branded it.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Ian

If it is red, it's probably red jewellers rouge, there are various suppliers for this. Folks like RS components/Mouser/Farnell have it, but also suppliers that cater to watchmakers and jewellers, probably crafts/hobby stores as well. You can get it on a hard stick, or as a paste (in various consistencies), obviously, you are looking for the paste version.
The OEM probably is only willing to sell it to you by the bucket

Surprised to see jewellers rouge is not the best for stainless steel.

Thanks Jarno,

The actual compound is white in color and quite stiff; perhaps it is the age that has dried it out somewhat. Thanks for the link, there is some really good information there.
