Searched the posts to see if anyone has done this but didn't see anything.
I have buffing wheels for my bench grinder and two compounds, a emery and a buffing, but I still have a few heavy scratches I would love to remove.
Is there a very fine sand paper I can use to cut the scratches down before the emery compound?
Any suggestion are appreciated.

How fine you want to go? They make trizac all the way up to 5K grit.

I've done very little polishing, so I'm no expert.

Here are three videos that seem to have good information to answer your question:
> Tips & Tricks for Polishing / Buffing Stainless Steel Trim Part 1
> Tips & Tricks for Polishing / Buffing Stainless Steel Trim Part 2
> Tips & Tricks for Polishing / Buffing Stainless Steel Trim Part 3

And here is written info from Caswell Plating:
> Introduction to Buffing and Polishing website
> Introduction to Buffing and Polishing pdf Same info in .pdf form

Thanks Lonnie,
Very helpful!
Again you have been a lifesaver.
By the way, I see there's a carshow at Disney World in September. My son wants to do a road trip, but I told him it wouldn't be this year. Have you ever been to it?

John, the car show is the 1st time for it. It's actually 3 shows: Mustang Club of America national show, Festival of Wheels show and DreamCars Weekend. All 3 at one time in one place should make for one of the best shows in the country. July 31 is the last day to register for Dreamcars and The hotel has over 1900 rooms already booked. I expect to attend.

Thanks for your info Caso and Wayne.
It's not a show truck but I do want to buff the Stainless the best I can.
Wayne, have a good time at the Disney show. Let me know how it was.
John
