Xmetal Polishing attempt #1

[Slojack]

On my way. So far so good.

I'm not sure how it would work on the X Metal materials, if it would work the same as on the plastics I use in other restorations. But Turtle Wax Rubbing and Polishing compound (able to get in large quantities for cheap) can be used near the final stages with a buffing pad (or a slower rotation lapping wheel). May take a while but supposed to get closer to that mirror finish especially if you keep switching up the rotation.

No.

Guessing not abrasive enough.

Probably not. It’s a process of eliminating scratches.

I'm redoing what I did for morror like PB1 plates which I hear are harder to polish.
