I have used the Chestnut buffing system with their compounds and found them to be successful in getting a nice finish.

Like Mark I use Tripoli & White diamond.
+1 for the chestnut system
The Chesnut “system” is no different from the products that you can get from a specialist supplier like Polishing Kits | Polishing Mops | Polishing Shop | Polishing Kit except that chesnut are much more expensive. The Beal “system” is even more expensive. Axminster are a bit more reasonable in price but none of them have the range of products of The Polishing shop. They have I think nine different compounds for wood alone and literally had hundreds of mops in all different sizes to chose from.
