Re: tiny scratches
I've been toying with the idea of buying a whole case of microfiber towels, cutting 8" or 10" circles out of each, and then taking them to a sewing shop and having them sew them all together to make buffing wheels out of them. I have a theory that these mysterious tiny scratches are the results of the threads in the buff whipping the surface of the part. (Probably most likely during the spiral sewn stage but the loose cotton/white combo doesn't have enough cutting action to wipe them out.)
I think the "solution" lies in decreasing the thread width in the buff to a small enough size that the human eye cannot see the scratch pattern. Maybe microfibers are the answer?
