Finishing question on frame....
OK, I finally got both sections of the frame (cast area and rolled section as well) to a mirrored finish which absolutely looks great but I still see what I would call trace lines. What I mean, is at certain angles I can see where the buffing wheel makes it's passes on the surface (as if it leaves burns or hazes the surface) of the polished piece and it doesnt come out with mother's polish or anything of the sort. Now, its not terrible but you can see them more in the direct sunlight or at ONLY certain angles. At first I was using a 7in air sander with 4500rpm and a 8 in wheel at first which created a surface speed of around 9,000 and the traces were pretty bad. I then moved to a 4in wheel and the traces were minimized using the same process. I have the shine I want but still have the hazing aspects in certain areas. So my question is...am I doing something wrong or is this to be expected? Am I "burning" it or possibly using the wrong process etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!
