I figured Opti-Seal would be great for protection but there is some oxidation that I think will take a bit of effort to remove. I did try OS on a couple sections and while it did darken it up a bit but didn't remove the oxidation.
RustyBumper-the pad is made by American buffing-but I no longer see it on their website. I've had it a couple of years. Not sure if David from Optimum or my local Optimum distributor gave me a couple to try.
Anyway, this is their website:
American Buffing Company
I do have one of their 8" orange waffle cutting pads which is nearly as stout as using a wool pad and holograms less. I also have an 8" black finishing pad that works very well too.
I believe you have to buy in bulk through their website but maybe if you contact them you can find who sells their pads retail.
