Your welcome =). Since the areas that I polish are relatively small, I hand buff.

Metal is not as forgiving as paint. Your prep of the metal needs to be near flawless in order to not have any very fine scratches, sometimes its unavoidable. However, they can be diminshed greatly by knowing the amount of pressure (usually medium/light) to use both on wet-sanding AND applying and removing polish.

Make sure you use a microfiber cloth and not a terry cloth for the removal of the polish - hard fibers and lint WILL leave fine scratches, spoiling your mirror quality finish. The more you do it, the more saavy you'll become.
