I sanded with 320. These definitely aren't sand marks (only sanded w/the grain....these are swirls from the wipe finish).
Yes they're slowly disappearing. But I can't tell if the swirls I see now are the same swirls I saw before, if you know what I mean. I guess I can't tell if I'm making new swirls or if these are the "old" swirls from the first wipe coat or two.
The sheen is otherwise good I think. I'm going to check it in brighter light today. But I think it's good. I just wasn't sure if there was some technique for a final rub w/like MS or whatever to "buff" the finish to a totally even sheen. I kinda want to avoid making the finish thicker at this point.
When you "polish" these final wipe coats, do you apply much pressure? Or very little? I've been using very little pressure (virtually none). Just evenly wiping the surface so I can tell it's covered and then moving on. Not re-wiping. Not pressing.
I feel like it's so close to being "done"...and I want to avoid messing it up at this point. But I also don't want to settle for almost perfect if I can avoid that. I feel like getting an even sheen/finish is important. GO AWAY SWIRLS!

I have no idea what I did wrong, but as long as I don't do what I did, I'll be good to go.
