best polish i use is 1/4 micron colloidal silica

you go thru 200-400-600-80-1200-2400-4000 grit papers, then
3micron diamond,
1 micron diamond,
and if the pictures will be published, 1/4 micron colloidal silica. 1/4 micron diamond is ok, but the silica is more aggressive.

the silica will leave traces so it's not good for elemental analysis... but it gives a mirror smooth surface, and it is difficult to detect scratches up to about 2000 times magnification



ahh... i'm a nerd Razz

but seriously tho, a good polish leaving a flat surface on a car, is miles away from a good polish. car paint is way too soft to get a proper polish tho, which is why waxes and such are used to fill in scratches Wink

i'd be interested to hear if any of these polishing compounds say how large their particles are??? in terms of microns..
