Turn acrylics with TCT, sand with 320, 400 and then 600 with lathe stopped and only do it horizontally to take radial lines out,

Then use Yorkshire grit coarse to get a partial shine, then YG fine to bring everything to a nice shine, final polish with Autoglym car polish. I used to use the micro mesh pads but gave up with that and now only use YG.
