Rubbing compound on a heat sink??

[RancidWAnnaRIot]

Hello,

I just got finished lapping a heat sink (pretty damn shiny too ) .. anyway.. i was just wondering.. has anyone ever tried using rubbing compound on a heatsink?? would it screw up the heat sink?? i figure it would cause the compound can get in the little cracks on the heat sink and screw the heat sinks ability to transfer heat... anyway, i just wanna see if anyone has actully tried it..

Thanks,

It'll be fine, just make sure to clean well with isopropanol.

Theres little or nothing to be gained from polish, though. Flatness is where it's at.
