[Powerpac]

I have been polishing stainless for years part time on classic car stainless trim. Now that I have retired, I have been taking on more work but I am also having a problem with getting the fine sanding scratches out of stainless steel trim. Occasionally there is also a BLUSH that shows up, especially on the ends and edges of the pieces after I start to polish them. I use a commercial power sander and Formax 26 on aluminum oxide belts when sanding. I also hand sand the deep scratches starting with 240 on up to 1200 before buffing. After sanding I buff with a sizal wheel with emory and then a cotton spiral sewn with emory to get the shine and remove all visable scratches. On the color buff I have had no luck with the green stainless rouge so I use the white rouge. On some pieces I still see fine scratches and BLUSH on the ends and along the edges. This doesn't show up until the final buff and then I have to start over because my customers are usually looking for show quality restored stainless. HELP PLEASE HELP!!!!! If anyone has any suggestions, I have open ears.
