polishing help
hey guys. i am polishing a sled deck that is custom built for a 05 PSD however, i am not getting the results that i want.
i am getting it to a great shine, but there are spots that appear to be dark when looking at it in my garage, but when i took a photo with flash it ended up looking like this.  i have been using 4" buffing wheel with wicked metal polish. o wet sanded with 1500 grit first also. i have tried hand polishing/buffing wheel with the abouve product and zephyr pro 40, mothers mag/aluminum, white rouge, and green. what am i missing? how can i get the marks out? i am leaving tommorrow afternoon for the mountains and want this thing looking slick. any and all help is appreciated. PS. please dont mind the dirty garage.. Last edited by TrustyPSD; 03-04-2011 at 10:54 AM.

try rubbing the polishing material on it, when it turns black, throw some flour on it...the flour will take out the smaller scratches your seeing. Do it in a small spot, to see if it works for ya. I sounds funny, but thats what I was told to do, and seen done when I was researching polising my wheels....then I paid someone to do it... I hate polishing!!!

sounds like your burning the polish into it. try polishing it again by hand and wipe by hand. when i did my bike frame with a wheel, it would burn the polish on it and stay black looking. i ended up using 4000 grit wet sand than polished by hand and it looks sweet.
