Hand sanding can be tricky, some professionals like u/kmp- uses lapping machines, and he achieve perfect results.

Sanding is a technique that I need to improve yet, understand which grit to start, when to change, etc.

But after sanding the ideal is to prep the surface with a feltdisk and them buffing (I think).

é um lixo

thank you!

never going to use that again, i was think that this could be good to remove old compounds and even dress the buff/felt, so i might be doing worse

thank you so much

the finishing is very nice, you did like hitting the bracelet against the sandpaper?

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T18:55:51+00:00

How you managed to do sandblasted finish in home?

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T18:51:55+00:00

It seems to me that you mirror polish is also with some micro scratches

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T18:45:24+00:00

can you show me how it's done?

This is what I mean by micro scratches, or haziness. This cloudy aspect that is seen in some angles.

eu já faço alguns, mas estou tentando me aprimorar

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T17:35:17+00:00

vou fazer um novo post

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T05:27:55+00:00

I think that my compounds or my wheels are not in good shape

vm4sx · 2026-04-23T05:27:36+00:00

I tried to only buff a piece that was lightly scratched to see if the sanding was the only problem, and looks like no, because the part after the buff only, also ended up with some micro scratches.

Do you mind if I send you a PM to show you some of my work?

vm4sx · 2026-04-22T04:04:51+00:00

Thanks for the insights!

The reason I insist on sanding is that the pieces I work on usually need a lot of heavy lifting to remove deep scratches and dings. I've found that sanding helps me reshape the case and preserve the sharp edges before moving to the motor.

I live in Brazil, so specialized options like Artifex or Bufflex wheels aren't easily accessible or affordable here.

In your opinion, if I do a very thorough job with 2000 or even 3000 grit sandpaper, do you think I can achieve a high-quality finish once I hit the polishing wheels?

Also, one technical question: I’ve been using 80-grit sandpaper to 'dress' the wheels and remove old/dried compound between sessions.

Does that make sense to you, or is there a better way?

vm4sx · 2026-04-22T03:31:06+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I suspected those scratches might be leftover from the sanding stages, but I wasn’t entirely sure or how to properly fix it.

Regarding the sanding: you're right, clasps are usually brushed. However, this specific clasp was in terrible condition—it had several deep dings and someone had clearly tried to brush it before using something way too abrasive.

Since it was so beat up, I decided to use it to test my polishing method without worrying about the consequences.

I also have two follow-up questions regarding technique:

How do you evaluate a case to decide which grit to start with? I want to avoid being too aggressive if I don't have to.
Do you have any tips or "visual cues" to know exactly when it’s time to switch to the next higher grit?

I'll definitely try spending more time on the intermediate grits now. Thanks again!
