Polishing Compound: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.40 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For polishing compound, the drivers are hardness, set time, flow, dimension stability, auto-mix vs hand-mix, carrier, particle size, resorption rate — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes for aluminum-polishing-related products cluster in two routes: ready-made retail/bulk bars or kits in the US, and OEM/ODM or traded commodity abrasives from China. US-facing suppliers show finished buffing compounds around the mid-teens to low-30s per unit, while marketplace/OEM listings and powder/compound analogs show much lower landed-equivalent pricing at scale; the main cost drivers are formulation (abrasive chemistry, binder/polymer system, and whether it is a paste, wax bar, or liquid), package size, and custom printing/branding. For custom-manufactured B2B orders, the most realistic route is Chinese OEM/ODM or import sourcing rather than domestic branded fulfillment, with pricing falling quickly once MOQ moves from hundreds into several-thousand-unit tiers.
