Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during initial abrading, leading to uneven material removal.Begin with lighter pressure and gradually increase as needed, allowing the abrasive to work effectively.
Failing to maintain a consistent polishing angle, resulting in visible swirl marks or inconsistent sheen.Employ a steady, consistent angle throughout the polishing process, using long, overlapping strokes.

Common Applications
