| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using excessive pressure during initial abrading, leading to uneven material removal. | Start with lighter pressure and gradually increase as needed, monitoring the surface finish closely. |
| Employing incompatible polishing compounds for the specific grade of Aluminum 6061, resulting in streaking or micro-marring. | Consult abrasive and polishing compound manufacturer guidelines to select products specifically designed for aluminum alloys. |
