Hello,

I was wondering if some of you who do this sort of thing can help out. I'm having trouble putting a real nice mirror finish on my blades. This is my progression on the compounds, mostly to save a bit of money

#1. -80 grit greaseless compound

#2. 320 grit greaseless compound

#3. black emery polishing compound

#4. white roush polishing compound

I suspect that not using a 600 grit greaseless before the black emery is the culprit. What do you all use?

ALSO, it seems that more than half the time, I don't get good enough coverage on the buffing wheel with my 80 grit, and it doesn't cut as fast as it needs to. I spend sometimes 3 hours just on 80 grit. Is that typical?
