Choosing a Polishing Mop
Work from a firm cutting mop to a soft finishing mop, using a separate mop for each compound.
| Mop | Stage | Choose It For |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Sisal (Coarse) | Cutting | Initial cutting and flattening with compound; very popular for stainless steel |
| Impregnated Green Sisal (Harder) | Heavy cutting | Strong, extra-coarse cutting for scratch removal before polishing |
| Blue Cord Dry Sisal | Cutting | A very hard sisal with excellent cut and some flexibility |
| White Stitched (Hard) | Cutting and polishing | A rigid stitched mop for cutting and polishing on a range of metals |
| Loosefold Bronco | Cutting and polishing | A hard, fast-cutting loosefold mop: firm cut with a soft finish |
| Loosefold G (Medium) | Cutting and polishing | Our most popular mop: a general-purpose calico mop |
| Loosefold WDR (Soft) | Final finishing | Our most popular final finishing mop |
| Swansdown WHR | Final finishing | Our most popular soft, all-round finishing mop |
| Reflex (Softest) | Final finishing | Extremely soft; ideal for precious metals |
| Chamois | Final finishing | A beautiful high finish; excellent for precious metals |
| Airflow | Polishing | Reduces heat build-up when polishing; made to order |
| Razor Mops | Detail polishing | Thin loosefold mops for areas larger mops cannot reach |
| Dollie Mops | Detail polishing | Small mops in sisal, G and WDR for polishing small areas |

Looking After Your Mops
- Rake new mops with a mop dresser to open up the fibres before first use.
- Dress mops when they glaze or stop cutting, to clear caked compound and keep them running true.
- Keep one mop per compound, so coarser abrasive is not carried into the finishing stage.
- Don’t wash your mops: dress them instead.
Choose your compound from our Polishing Compounds.
