If you look in the "album" at the R1 photos, you can't tell, but there are in fact swirls...I see them, but generally customers don't see it as a "defect". On my website, I have a photo of myself and the owner of that bike, and he is so happy with it that he can't stop talking about it long enough to smile for the camera!...As polishers, we all want our products to be flawless and as good as can be, but in reality polishing is more of an art than a science and hand done things are unique! My experience this far has been that we see every little defect in every part we do, but the customer sees the part for what it is as a WHOLE...a nice "new" shiny part that once didn'nt look that way! If you take a step back and try and see the finished piece as a whole...it makes the whole process more enjoyable! Keep cool, and keep polishing!
