Default Re: Polishing tight corners. New guy.

First off, congrats on a job well done. Those turned out nice. Second, judging by the pics but not actually being able to see the part up close in person, I'm gonna guess that the scratches you have left are buffing marks. Do the scratches only seem to show up when you can see the light reflecting off the part from tilting it at certain angles? Are the scratches totally random, going in a million directions and give off the impression of looking at an aurora borealis? If so, those would be buffing marks.
