how to get ride of a cloudy finish
first i would like to say hi to all. this is my first post . been reading alot and learning alot to say the least. this forum is great, it really is and i thank all the pros on here for all their input and experiences they share. but now i need some input now. i tried to resist because i dont want to be a hound and some noob forever asking questions and not learning anything. so here is goes, the cloudy finish after the blue stage. i have been polishing now for a good solid 3-4 months. all my pieces (aluminum and steel)came out looking just like chrome(with some scratches but maybe another question some other time). but right now i am in the process of polishing my swingarm for my motorcycle and i am at the blue stage with a loose cotton 6" wheel on a bench grinder 1/3 horse. the smaller part came out pretty good, but the bigger/thicker part still has that haze or cloudyness to it. again, the pics really make it look bad. in the one pic you can see the haze but to the left of it, you see the "shiney" part which is basically what you see looking at it. how do u get rid of that. here are some pics i took, any input would be great
edit: the swingarm is aluminum and i wet sanded all the way down to 600
