    That help scratch looked a bit spooky to me, is there some demonic goings on here.

    Just to give you guys an idea, the photo with my key ring with scratch was before, then i started with the yellow pad 400 grit, then next pic with the white pad 800 grit, then the next pic with the blue pad 1800 grit, then finished with the orance pad 12000. then the finished pic is the key ring with no scratch. Tried to put photo's in order but it didnt work...

    How much glossier would a 12000 look over a 3000 in this case? I've just used 3000 on marble and it's like a mirror!

    Yes, that certainly is a good job. My entire limestone floor requires polishing as dirt and grit have been carried in from our unfinished garden by kids and dog. Is this something i can do myself, if so, how?
