One reason you'll get differing info and opinions on here is that each piece of metal and each slightly different alloy takes different methods to get good results. Past experience helps choose a method, but it's still a lot of trial and error.

mike also speaks some great wisdom. the only reason his post ratings are lower than mine is due to the fact he is working and i am posting

but seriouly most of the guys here have a good bit of experience polishing but as mike said each alloy and piece is different. i have had some that nothing i had ever done before would work.(mike remember the gm efi) as for the skipping of the brown. i have not used brown on aluminum in almost a year. i find that for the most part i dont need the intermediate cut. not to say it is unnecessary for all people, just me most of the time.
