>>20066511Based. Meguiars 105 cutting compound is great for adding a shining polish. Also get some tri-poli (red/brown) and some chomeium oxide (green) compounds if you dont like the goopy meguiars, each polish will charge the strop. Ive used jeans from old pants as a strop, wasnt as effective as the rough leather, its gotta be how those strands hold the grit.
Also to get a true polish you need to go up the grits from low to high without skipping too many, otherwise youll be trying to polish out 220ngrit scratches for days. You wanna essentially alter the surface finish at each grit stage, going higher and higher itll look like a sheen dull look, any larger scratches and you need to go back down a grit until that scratch is consistently gone. Once you have a consistently fine surface finish around 500 to 1000 grit, the polishing stepsnare relatively quick. Doing these steps allows you to actually see progress at each stage, dont be that guy with 120 grit and 2000 grit and polish, it looks nice, but it wont be a truly mirror finish
>i polish guitar frets and hate kikes.
