Koyo-sha Lime Polishing MK-1
Koyo-Sha Lime Polishing MK-1 is a lime-based buffing compound tailored for bright finish results on iron and stainless steel. Its blend of abrasives and polishing medium provides excellent cut and sheen during buffing with cloth or sisal wheels, improving both surface quality and work efficiency
Features
MK-1 is formulated as a solid “lime” type polishing compound, providing both cutting (material removal or defect smoothing) and coloring (surface tint and gloss) functions.
Its ivory color gives good visual feedback during polishing, letting the user see the coloring effect clearly, and helps avoid over-polishing.
Designed specifically for ferrous metals: both mild/iron and stainless steels. Works well in the steel/stainless compound product group.
Can be used with sisal buffs (for more cutting / rough polishing) and cotton or cloth buffs (for finer coloring / gloss), allowing flexible workflow.
Supplied in boxes containing 20 pieces (bars) of the MK-1 compound, which is useful for workshops or frequent usage.
