Question For Polishing GuRu's

Ok, I have given up on my polishing trials and will just pay someone else to do it.


My question is why cant I get the shine I need. I took a part and sanded it beyond belief with 320, then I followed it with 400, followed by 800, followed by 1000, then 1500.

When that was done I polished it with Jewelers Rouge, followed by Tripoli. There is a haze in the work. Am I pressing too hard? Am I not using the right items. I think advice from the GuRu's may help the SC-U-Do-Its of the world.

Like I said, I have given up and if you feel the time it takes to reply is a waste. No problem. Just figured this might be a good info thread for the rest of the world.

Thanks guys for having patience, cause I got NONE!
 
Well thats obviously my problem I had the tripoli after the rouge. Thanks for the link. Thats good info.
 
I sanded all the way down to 2000 grit, then just started hand rubbing with Mothers Billet polish.
 
I just use 220 grit, 320 grit, then 500 grit.

Then the cheapest bench grinder I could find,
with buffing wheels mounted on it.With rouge.
