Polishing service
There are more than one way to polish parts by hand. It has a smooth, slightly shiny surface.

Polishing is a surface treatment method used to create a smooth, glossy, and reflective finish on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics. It involves the use of abrasives and polishing compounds to remove surface imperfections, scratches, and dullness, resulting in a highly finished and lustrous surface.
Smooth Sanding can remove processing traces, burrs, machining lines, sticky marks, etc. on the surface of parts. Part flatness, roughness will be improved resulting in a smooth, uniform looking surface.
Mirror-finish
Plastic, metal parts, and clear acrylic and polycarbonate parts
Industries
Automotive, jewelry, optics, and optical lenses, electronic components, and aerospace applications.

Polishing is used to mirror-finish common plastic, metal parts, and clear acrylic and polycarbonate parts to achieve a precisely uniform flat surface and professional-grade gloss, or to enhance the optical clarity of clear parts.
Use 600# sandpaper to polish the surface finish to Ra 0.8μm;
Use 1000 mesh sandpaper to polish the surface finish to Ra 0.4μm;
Mirror polished and clear polished surface finish is Ra 0.1-0.05 μm.
Polishing is commonly used in industries such as automotive, jewelry, optics, and precision engineering, where a high-quality finish is desired. It can be applied to various products, including metal parts, jewelry, decorative objects, mirrors, lenses, and many others. The level of polishing required depends on the application and the desired aesthetic or functional requirements.
