My first polishing job...

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
Yesterday I did my first polishing job in quest of the famous mirror shine. Most of the information I gleaned from this forum which I'd say is very helpful..

Comments/tips/critics all are welcome.
I just use some basic cream and wax polish...

I'm not entirely sure why this necessitates a thread unto itself, but good job?

um, they look fine. Not mirror shine by any stretch, but clean enough.

Are you happy with this level of shine (which is very nice, btw) or are you still on the quest for the mirror shine?

I'm happy, but want to achieve a true mirror just to know what it takes...

We're on the same journey - takes some time but persistence will get us there.

I didn't expand the photo but now that I did, I agree with this. Go for it with the full brogues and semi-brogues bluchers and leave the pebble grain pair out.
