Message	get with them...they will have some really good white jewler's rouge and buffing pads....you can probably go in there (like i did here in town) and get some for a good deal. i got 2 cotton pads, one sewn-one not...and a block of white rouge (looks a gold brick from a movie) for $15..... i have been polishing stuff for years, and still have that block of rouge.....i have found that the cheaper ones are not worth it b/c they tend to be gummy and not as fine for that final finish that is desired.... my number one tip i can give you is DO NOT skimp on sanding....every grit that you use, once you think you've done it enuff, sand it some more......you wont be dissappointed!!!!
