sorry to contradict you, but you are wrong.

i did this, in 17 minutes two nights ago.

from this...........



to this..............







i started with a "sand paper foam block" from home depot to get the paint off, and since it is foam, it gets the nooks and crannies well.

then, 600 grit, in the same direction (as changing directions will provide unfavorable swirls)

then 1000 grit, again, in one direction (back and forth if you must)

then, a fast wipe down with fine steel wool, and BAM, done. i can see myself in it.

now, if you really what a FULL MIRROR shine, use 2000 grit and wetsand it with WD-40 as a water replacement.

i have polished MANY different things, and my process is fast, and VERY effective.
