Ok, rust and wax then :D. So do you buy
jeweler's
rouge these days, in anything other then the sticks
you get at Sears (a whole package of sticks that come
in different colors, presumably for difference degrees
of courseness).
I've never ordered any, but H.S.Walsh (a jewellery/watchmaking equipment
supplier) list many grades of rouge, along with other polishing compounds
like cerium oxide.
