These + elbow grease = a lovely shine
You have to use elbow grease to get a mirror finish with these but I find that if you put a lot of work in with the coarser grits, you get a better finish and don't need to do so much with the finer ones. This means that I tend to get through the coarser sheets faster than the finer ones. They give a lovely shine which is enhanced with a final polish with Wenol.
