[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 239305, member: 3008"] What are you cutting? Regardless I'd use 3000 diastick on BATT and then straight to 100K. Unless quartz. 3000 prepolish then CeO on darkside. Although darkside will possibly drive you nuts. It's a love hate thing. Can try CeO on perspex. Others reakon Zirconia is better than CeO but gave me endless scratching. Also make sure facet aligns with polish lap. Marker pen on facet then swipe. Shouldn't take too long, seconds to get a good X10 polish. Quartz is renowned for being temperamental. [/QUOTE]
