yes that changes the process greatly. since greaseless grit is close to equal grit of paper, then the 320 and 400 would be a great step backwards. i would start out with the felt bobs and green bar. if this does not give the lustre you want then back up a step to the brown bar or the black bar. then go foward again. as for the help, it is my pleasure bro.
