Bill, everyone, thanks for the good advice. I also have some 3K and 5K auto wet/dry, to take it higher. You said to use glaze after you finish polishing them? I have a white stick, which I guess is used for polishing aluminum. I used that with a cone-shaped buffer. It came out pretty good, but in my estimation, it just didn't seem clear enough. Bill, you said do not used an clear coating on them. I wouldn't mind lightly going over them once a year and re-applying a clear, so long as they turned out great each time. Hmm . . . thinking.
