i use a sanding block or some sort of blocks
and work from 600 to 1200
but ive heard that to get the best results, you are NOT suppose to lap the lines crossing
you can only lap it one direction
and its like push, lift, move back, push, lift, move back...
the motion is kind of like when you are making a bread dough

Everyone has there own little ways of doing things.....no biggie.
I was tought how to lap and polish metal by an Engineer that designed and built injection mold's for plastic. The heat transfer and surface smoothness is crucial with those presses. I also do my own porting and polishing on heads and intakes for V-8 drag race engines. What I do and how I do it works for me.
