[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16178795, member: 181885"] +1 on the Mothers Mag Polish. Very good stuff, very light cut. Soft toilet paper or super-fine felt are the secret weapons for squeezing that last bit of shine out of polishing. I also watered down the polishing compound towards the end- made a huge difference since the removed material and media was suspended like with wet sanding. Other advice- don't think you can save time by skipping steps. It just doesn't work. You have to start with the heavier grit and progressively work your way to the 2000, 4000, and then start getting into compound. Otherwise, as you start seeing a nice mirror finish, you also start seeing pitting that the ultra-fine paper or compounds wont remove. Then, you ruin all that nice polishing when you have to go back to heavier cut to remove the pitting/scratches you missed. Really sucks, done it plenty of times myself. There is no time to be saved by skipping steps!! Another trick is to invest in a nice Dremel or air-powered rotary tool. Put in some headphones, put hearing-pro over that, wear a respirator and safety glasses, then go to town. I have an entire toolbox filled with flap wheels, disks, polishing bits of all shapes, even some home-made ones. Any time you're doing polishing, wear your PPE. [/QUOTE]
