I'd like some pointers on polishing stainless steel using a dremel rotary tool. I have some of that abrasive polishing compound (#421) and felt polishing wheels on a mandrel I've been practicing on. I still can't get that bright polished look I want.
First off, what's the best way to apply the compound to the felt wheels? The compound is pretty hard so I've been running the dremel w/felt wheel in the compound and found that making the felt a little wet helps - the compound coats the wheel evenly. I then start polishing the SS at a medium/low speed and I'd slightly wet the steel occasionally (like spit shining boots). That has worked the best for me, but I'd like more suggestions on doing this.
Any dremel gurus here who'd like to offer pointers/suggestions?
