So I'm completely new to the Dremel world. I've been practicing polishing up parts on an old pellet rifle I had that I'm in the works of rebuilding. I've seen a lot of work done with rotary tools that looks amazing, I just haven't quite got the technique down yet. I can't quite buff out all of my polishing marks or get the right shine out of the polish. What am I doing wrong? I know I haven't talked about my technique, and that's because I'd like to know what/how everybody else works their rotary tools? How do you polish up your parts/guns? What attachments do you use?

Any information is greatly appreciated as I was planning on polishing up some of my XD9 parts to accent it, but would like to be proficient with my rotary tool before I go at it. So in advance, thank you for any and all information
