| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using improper abrasive grit progression, leading to surface inconsistencies. | Follow a systematic grit progression, starting with coarser grits and gradually moving to finer grits for a smooth, uniform finish. |
| Applying excessive heat during polishing, causing material degradation or discoloration. | Employ adequate cooling techniques and moderate pressure during polishing to prevent overheating the aluminum surface. |
