Yes Woody I have seen Brian use it, he uses an industrial talc not the baby stuff.
Also carborundum powder, rouge and diamond white depending on what he is polishing.
Large polishing wheels and rouge or diamond white for really shiny metal.
Talc for plastic is used widely throughout industry, he uses Vaseline / petroleum jelly as a catalyst or soapy water on plastics.
I haven't a clue what the Carborundum is for except honing blades, I will have to ask him.
I certainly can't knock his finishing techniques a little out of the ordinary but wow what a shine, and I am still trying not to stick my fingers to the chuck with ca.
I picked up his methods when I first started a man after my heart, why spend a load of money on a bit of dust and a drop of turps called T-Cut or the like.
I wouldn't want to do my car with toothpaste so horses for courses I suppose.
