A polished finish is built step by step, and every grit stage has a job to do. A matte finish is typically reached around 100-200 grit stage with little or no burnishing; a satin finish around 400-800 grit stage; and a high mirror finish at 1500-3000 grit stage plus a burnish. The finish level is determined by how far through the grit stage sequence you stop.

Crews that rush this part rarely get a mirror finish.
