Can I get a more specific answer?
I feel that by the time I'm done with polishing, the surface is as good as I'm going or willing to get it. So now it's about just filling that last bit that I haven't gotten to. I know there is a 'jeweling' term out there, but I figure that would be reserved for 3M's Ultrafina or 85rd with a finishing pad and a light touch or lifting up on the machine.
So let's say I'm done with the 'polishing' per se, I don't want to cause any potential marring at this point so I'm hoping I could just machine on and wipe off. I just want to be careful.

So I guess the question is as simple as, do you 'work' or 'break down' glazes or do you just want to throw on a thin thin layer and wipe off?
