Stainless

[steveleb]

I am kind of new to the world of polishing. I just polished a hub cap made of stainless. First I used black on a sissal wheel after I used white on a regular wheel now I have very fine scratches almost polished out. What would be the next step to get a finely polished peice? I am not looking for shear perfection.

The scratches are probably from the black compound on the sisal wheel. If you don't have any stainless compound, I would go back and use the black on a cotton buff, (not the same buff you are using for white), until you don't see any scratches, then use the white again. After using the black on a cotton wheel you should see no scratches. Then the white will just add to the shine.
