Up until a few years ago, there was also SNJ metal powders, but they have been discontinued.
Wow! That is good stuff, Phil_H !!
There are a number of non-modelbuilding materials that can be used for polishing, depending on the grit you want. I have used toothpaste a lot on models. Pumice stone used to be a popular very fine abrasive. Another is jeweler’s rouge, though I would think that might stain a bit. Baking soda is a very gentle abrasive.
Perhaps a bit of ground pencil “lead”?
that’s the gear phil-H, thank’s mate , might have to try that pencil lead texgunner , don’t see why it shouldn’t work
