Polished Mild steel looks Blotchy
Ive recently folded a piece of Mild Steel up to become a Hand Saw back, I知 now wanting to polish it up to a high lustre(mirror Finnish) if I can,its only 19 mm wide by about 160 mm long,so not a huge endeavour an I知 only hand sanding it,tho I did skim over it using a Little Velcro pad on a Dremel with some 120 grit Initially.
Then whent back to 80 grit wet and dry working up too 2000 grit.
I will when I get the chance use some polishing wheels but I知 currently in lockdown in Melbourne,an my polishing equipment is in Ballarat.

I can almost get the shine I want but I keep getting this kind of weird effect showing up on the metal its not previous grit scratch marks,tho in the pics there are some,its more like a stain in the metal its self, its across the whole back,I知 on attempted number two,an looks like I be going for a third attempt.
I知 confident I知 not going too the next grit to early,tho maybe not.
