Actually after many tries, I have concluded polishing is counter intutive.
RULE 1: SLOWER is better and LESS POLISH is better!
Too much polish or having the polisher turning too fast will result in
slippage and will prevent the polish from working effectively. I think
extra polish acts as a lubricant.
Try turning your polisher down to 500-100 rpms and use fingerprints of
polish on 4 in intervals. I bet it will work better. When it works right
the polisher will almost throw you across the room and you will get
bright AL in just a few seconds.
Also remember RULE 2: Start with a mid grade polish rather than the
coarsest, cause you are going to have to remove the scratches later. The
less you put in now the quicker you will get thru.
