8″ – 200mm Rouge Buff Mop

Finishing your pieces with a professional, mirror shine

Soft buffing wheels, also known as mops and buffs, are much softer and made to hold polishing compounds, such as jeweller’s rouge. Once the compound is applied, the mops are spun and applied directly to the metal leaving it with a high shine. This stage in the buffing process is generally the last step you’ll need to take, and typically, the polishing mops used can be made from a soft cotton, calico, felt, or muslin. These types of buffing wheels can be of various sizes, ranging from small 1 inch mops right up to 6 inch mops or larger. They also range in thickness. This is because the cotton or muslin used is usually layered so the thicker the mop is, the more versatile it will be, helping you to get the most out of the tool when used with a polishing motor.

Tip: Remember to regularly clean your soft polishing mops, as the polishing compound you use with them will build up over time and harden, making the mop less effective.
