So i have never polished anything before. I have read some instructions on ways of doing it. Well i used some aluminum cleaner to try and clean some of the muck off the hub backing plate. Removed some stuff but not really as much as i thought cleaner would. Tried a few different cleaners nothing really removed anything more. So after trying some cleaners on the backing plate i ended up looking like this
So after playing around a little and testing some stuff out i ended up with
(Just used a little bit of polishing cream to test something)
Which really showed me how it could clean up pretty nicely with some elbow grease.
Well as i started moving to finer and finer sandpaper i had this
(still just sanding no polishing)
But i started to notice this
(The solid black spec with white around it in the middle left of the picture is something on my lens, not the backing plate)
And this is were my question is. I am noticing little specs in it (see above picture) , will this buff out once i get to the polishing part or am i needing to use courser sandpaper till its gone then start back going finer and finer?
