first off what is the finsh you are starting with? without seeing the blades i can make the following basic suggestion. start with a handful of the felt bobs that caswell has and some 320 greaseless compound. the use the 400 grit greaseless. then on to emory and then stainless(green) bar. finally if needed red bar.
the difference between greaseless and grease bars is the binder medium that the abrasive is in. almost all of the polishing bars except blue has some kind of abrasive in it. the grease bar flows a little aesier but the abrasive level starts about where the greaseless leaves off. hope this helps bro.
