Exactly so!

The Rubbing Compound is coarser than the Polishing Compound...And if you really want to remove metal, Valve Grinding Compound takes off a lot of metal in a hurry (use with caution...I wouldn't use it here)...

I have some different grit compounds I use for lapping scope rings, and if the going gets tough there's some valve lapping compound back in a drawer... That, a few beers and a large pipe wrench should do it!
