Sanding up to 3,000 grit?? Why?? I only sand to 600. Watch why.

In this video I demonstrate why I don’t sand above 600. Sanding over 1,000 grit only closes the pores and makes polishing more difficult. Polishing metal isn’t like polishing paint. But also polishing by machine is different than polishing and sanding by hand. When sanding and polishing by hand higher grits help a lot. Some hand polishes can take out 400-800 grit but likely higher is needed. Thank you to Keenan for helping with this video. Hope seeing this video helps you understand my sanding thoughts and process better.
