Which is why I wrote... use nevr dull if the finish is too rough. There is an easy way and a hard way to do everything. Just because something doesn't take as long or require less steps does not mean you can't get the same results. But anyways your phone turned out nice.. carry on.
Well when I run out I'll give it a shot when I run out of my current stock, I'm open to always trying new products. I own polished aluminum wheels so I've tried about 30+ products from every major company. I don't know why but 3M rubbing compound is always the product I come back to. it's the only product that always polishes without leaving additional sanding marks.
who knows you might have found that magic single step product
