Default WHITE COMPOUND IS MAKING PART DULLER THAN THE BLACK HELP....

I AM POLISHING AN ALUMINUM SUZUKI HAYABUSA FRAME OF MINE. ITS LOOKING REALLY GOOD WITH THE BLACK COMPOUND ON A SPIRAL SEWN WHEEL. CASWELL TOLD ME TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE ON A CANTON FLANNEL OR LOOSE COTTON WHEEL AND JUST BE DONE WITH IT, WAX IT. WELL I WENT TO START POLISHING WITH THE WHITE ON THE WHEEL AND ITS MAKING IT DULLER THAN THE BLACK WAS. THE BLACK HAS MORE SHINE TO IT THEN THE WHITE. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP IF POSSIBLE. THANKS
JAMES

What device are you using to polish with? I've noticed that the black emery compound seems to work even at lower RPM's, but when you step up to the whites/reds/blues they seem a little more touchy about tool speed. If you're doing this with an electric drill, that may be the problem. White blizzard needs more RPM's to work its magic. (The hotter you can get the part from sheer friction, the better it seems to work.) Try increasing your RPM's with the white and see what happens.
