I know it's best posted on the members area but I am not a current member. I don't know if anyone had tried this method before but the results are a perfect match to the surface. From 200 grit quartz pads I then go with a 220 grit Velcro sandpaper. You will see instant results from it as it clears the smeared resin off the edges. Final step is 3000 grit quartz pad with tons of water with light pressure. Of you have any white pad residue from too much heat try an unused cotton buff wheel with nothing on it. I hope this helps people out that are having difficulties with this material

Thanks Mark.

Is that the black quartz with mirror in it?

I believe it's a gamma quartz pad and yes it is the black with mirror. I was completely amazed when it came up after a 220 and 3000
