This stage is very important, use lots of water and sand all areas that you have sanded with the coarser grits |

Now its time to polish
I will use the high speed polisher with a 3M waffle pad and the 3M Glaze |
|
|
|
Use a high speed of aprox 1800 or 2000 rpm
Keep the pad wet with polish and have someone hold the lens still, also use safety glasses |
