sorry very ill at the mo but will try and answer if I can  :-[

If you start of with a harsh coarse low grade sand paper/wet/dry - then you will put more line into that is needed - the common thinking is that less work is to use some thing to take it off quicker - in fact you need to start low and with a higher grade paper - it will take longer but you will get better results and wont have to work on any more marks you may put in ?

if you are using a bench grinder on polishing up the disc - on the mop will be particles of dirt and metals and used polish - this will mark the surface no matter how much you keep going over it

next try Peek by hand - clean cloth and a bit of time - just work it well and then keep going till it shines

then use a Goddards cloth to buff up and then a yellow duster

- so don't go to harsh when sanding
- use clean wheel mops when polishing
- take time to keep going when hand polishing - the longer and more time you take, the better it will be


it's not a simple quick game for the best looking stuff - take you time and have clean work parts to use

cheers B  :-[

HARORIDER:
how bad are the scratches? when you get it to the point where you can see your face in it,it is very hard to not scratch it !!! you can even scratch it by using lime powder with a soft cloth to clean off polish residue  :(

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
or just get some fresh mops and keep the old for harder jobs

but do try peek by hand in the end as well  ;)
