| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using excessive force during polishing, leading to uneven material removal. | Employ a consistent, moderate pressure with appropriate polishing media and grits for uniform results. |
| Not properly preparing the surface prior to polishing, resulting in scratches. | Thoroughly clean and degrease the aluminum surface, and progress through a sequence of progressively finer abrasive grits. |
