I have an 1100 rpm buffer with 6" cotton wheels (sewn and loose) and I'm currently using Caswell's Large Buffing Compound Kit. I bought the compound about 11 years ago and just recently tried to use it and I feel that it's simply too old and needs to be replaced. I've seen a few videos of people restoring blades and most seem to use greaseless compounds. What is the difference between greaseless and the compound that I'm using? I noticed that in the videos the greaseless is doing a MUCH better job than what I have. But what I have might just be too old to do anything (11 years sitting and the cardboard box).
I want to replace my old compound with new but don't know whether to stay with the type I have or move to greaseless. What are the pros and cons to each?
