Default Re: MC Engine Cases - Frustration Building

If you started with 1500 grit, I'd be surprised if you got rid of any scratches at all, unless of course the cases were in mint condition to start with.

That being said, I've taken to skipping the tripoli altogether since it usually seems to leave more haze than shine; then again, if your 1500 job was sufficient, tripoli might be the next step. I usually go from 400 straight to emery, then white. I seldom get a _completely_ scratch or haze-free surface, but I've never had any major complaints.
