Finishing with a grit of 600-800 and more will create an amazing finish and always finish by sanding with the grain. You will have to turn off your lathe for this.

Directions
Always make sure that your work is clean and free of any objects, for the perfect finish make sure that you sand your work well and always finishing with the grain.
Sand using 100 to 120 sandpaper and eventually you can work your way up to a much finer grit. I finish with 600 and have finished to 3000 grit sandpaper.
Use sanding sealer if you desire, it is a preference by some and if you are using your project as a food item, just use the True Patina wax stick.
Place the wax stick to your work while the Lathe is spinning holding your wax stick against the project and along with it.
Buff and if needed repeat this process. You do not need to press hard down with your soft buffing cloth as this may remove some of the wax, and possibly burn your fingers.
Buff until you feel the object free of wax.
