'Scuse me buttin' in, but that is correct and ideal. I always use a "hard" media first (rolls, whatever), then take out the ripples with greaseless. Worth it. Tip: use white rouge on the hardened greaseless like grinder's grease. You'll see.

Oh, and consider starting with 220 on cast stuff - not too bad and it saves a step, and allows more control since you're cutting slower.
