Hi
I have a block that is like a pencil rubber ( eraser ) impregnated with carborundum.
Does this sound like it?
It is used for removing weld discolouration from grained stainless sheet.
( Rub with the grain )

I used these years ago - there were several grades which were suited to polishing alloy and other metals. I remember spending loads of time on my old
BSA polishing up all the rocker covers which came up a treat 
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

They are called resilient abrasives blocks.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
