Hand Sanding Questions

I've got a good weekend coming for working on a couple $10 finds. Got a pack of wet dry grits up to 2000 and another 3000 from Auto Zone and Harbor Freight. Getting some Mothers polish. Got some 0000 steel wool.

I've read its best to start with polish and SW to see what you've got. One has etchings that I will want to make sure to preserve.

I used some Chromium Oxide on a cloth this week on a test knife blade with good results.

Sounds like a plan. Good advice, too.
