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.

Thanks. I'm getting better at it. I really took my time. From your description, the marks are buffing marks. How preventable are they? They're not ALL over, but in certain spots. Very consistent. Almost like the rouge had an imperfection that kept spinning around the area marking it up. But just barely. I'm thinking that if I spent just a little bit more time sanding, it may have been better. I didn't alter my strokes sanding, either. That must be important. Is it also better to alter the direction during the buffing stage?
I also nicked them up pretty good when the dremel slipped. DOH!
Being the beginner that I am, I'm more grateful for these errors so that I know what to expect. I've read many warnings from threads about holding that dremel tight.
Thanks for getting back to me. I'll get better at taking pictures of my work. Thanks for sharing.
