DIALUX Gold

DIALUX Gold (sometimes spelled Dialux Gold or Dialux Gold Compound) is a high-quality polishing paste based on cerium oxide (CeO₂), one of the most popular and effective for finishing and polishing non-ferrous metals, especially gold.

1. Key Features:

Abrasive: Cerium Oxide.

Color: Typically lemon-yellow or golden-yellow. Not to be confused with "red" (iron oxide) or "white" (aluminum oxide) pastes.

Grit: Very fine (high grit). Belongs to the class of super-finishing and finishing pastes.

Purpose: Creates a perfect, deep, "wet" mirror shine without matte streaks.

2. Metals and applications:

Gold (all karats): Ideal for finishing jewelry.

Silver: Provides a clean, cool shine.

Platinum, palladium.

Brass, copper, bronze.

Aluminum (including anodized).

Finishing of prepared surfaces (after using coarser pastes, such as green or white).

3. Key Benefits:

Gentle action: Does not leave deep scratches typical of coarser abrasives.

Clean shine: Provides a truly "golden," warm, deep shine on suitable metals, unlike more aggressive pastes.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of metals.

Efficiency: Cerium oxide is one of the most effective abrasives for finishing.

4. How to use:

Preparation: The metal surface should already be leveled and pre-polished with coarser pastes (e.g., in the following sequence: Green (for stripping) → White (for leveling) → Gold (for a high-gloss finish)).

Application: Apply a small amount of paste to a soft polishing pad (felt, felt, suede, or foam) or a hand polishing cloth.

Polishing: Use at low to medium speed, without applying much pressure. The paste should be evenly distributed and begin to dry (a light "dust" will form).

Cleaning: This is a critical step! After polishing, the item must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all abrasive residue. Use:

Warm water, soap, and a brush.

Ultra-sonic bath.

Special cleaning solutions for jewelry.

This is necessary to prevent microparticles of cerium from becoming trapped in micro-scratches and pores in the metal, as they can cause a dull finish over time.

DIALUX Gold is a premium professional finishing polish based on cerium oxide that creates a perfect mirror shine on gold and other non-ferrous metals. If you want to achieve a flawless final appearance for your jewelry, this paste is an excellent choice for the final polishing process.
