Buying Tripoli compound

[cpowellpumphrey]

I am wanting to polish some aluminum tubing. I have read in several places here about using tripoli to cut through the crud to get a good finish. I have also read about using the brown and white compounds. My question is: Where do you guys buy this stuff? I have looked at Autozone, Advance Auto, O'Rielly, and NAPA. It seems none carry it. I have looked at their online catalog as well as visiting in person. They know of it and have said they get inquiries about it but they don't carry it. Where do you find it?

I know you guys will know.

Thanks for the pointers guys. Since I'll be buying some dye I'll also pick up some compound too.
