Default Scratches

Unfortunately I started off using 80 git sandpaper like a few others. The problem I'm having is that I'm having a hell of a time getting these out. Any suggestions?

Scratches cannot be buffed or polished out unless you want to spend your life trying. You must go through the grits until you reach at least 600 and even finer if possible. At this point, black grease base with a sisal wheel should remove most scratches leaving a fine scratch pattern. Then, switch to the white with a sewn muslin polishing wheel to remove this scratch pattern. A final green chrome rouge will give you a mirror finish. Hope this helps.
