ok well anyway i did go put a lil bit more effort into it but i think i put a lil too much emery compound on it . it started making like a black streak when i was ppolishing and then when i would stop for a second there was a couple of patches of stuff that well the only thing i can think of that it resembles is ya know when you try and get a price tag sticker off something and it doesnt come all the way and makes like a lil black blotch of goo when you rub it? well yet thats what i got but i put the wheel to it just to heat it up a lil so it come off easier and wipe it with a paper towel i am assuming it from the emery compound i ran the wheel through a wire brush and well it still looks black all the way around the wheel but its not laying a bunch of crap down any more...so i think i am right so far but my big question is i am using sisal wheel with emery compound then planing on denim spiral with tripoli then cloth sewn wheel with either white rouge or red rouge then maybe a sewn cotton with no compound last does that seem like a ok order???? also i am curious when i should move on from the sisal wheel ( i did wet sand it before 320, 400,600) and i am on extruded aluminum so that has streaks in it to begin with and the scratches from 600 sand paper i did some reading and i thought the sisal wheel and emery compound is suposed to take away all streeks and scratches.... i have been going over and over it and the streaks and scratches are still there...dont get me wrong they are nowhere near as bad as when i started and it is starting to get shiny but if you look close even in shiny part you can still see streaks and scratches a lil bit i dont know if i should move to next wheel or if that would be a waste of time and to keep goin with this one any tips would be apreciated
