I don't have a buffing wheel so this isn't really in comparison to that, but almost since I have started I have been using MM to polish my pens. I have been thinking in the back of my head for awhile that maybe MM was not really needed as long as I have plastic polishes, but I kept using it as a safety measure. Well, today I decided to try sanding with 600, 1000, and 1500 Klingspor and then use Novus #3,2 then the Plasitx polish. After doing so, I really can't tell that much of a difference, if any at all from using the MM! I just wanted to throw this thought out there and start up a general discussion. I know there has been thoughts on methods of polishing over and over, but I don't believe I have ever seen someone say that they have both eliminated MM and a buffing wheel. I did notice some more than normal "deep scratches" that most likely came from less cross sanding, so if I make sure to do a really good job on the grits that I do use, then that should go away. Most people don't notice these scratches, but I try to get rid of them anyway. Thoughts anyone?
