[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 763880, member: 2310"] If you want it to turn out as close to "new" as possible, you have to sand all the way up to 2000 grit before polishing. You can still see the sanding marks in this photo: [IMG]https://s28.postimg.org/pl6hac9wd/20170307_184030.jpg[/IMG] Skipping grit steps will do exactly that - yield the visible sanding marks a few steps down the line. 2000 removes 1500 marks, 1500 removes the 1200 marks, 1200 removes the 1000, 1000 removes the 800, 800 ... etc. If you are sanding-off the 360 marks with 800 grit ... huh... you either aren't, or you are working too hard with 800.
