Polishing issues

Hello,

I just polished my board, and I would like to know your opinions about some issues on the final outcome.

In my case I had a lot of white points all along the board (which does not bother me much, but I think it might not happen), what could have caused this?

Also throughout the polishing process I noticed that while the board was getting shiny, after passing the polishing product, I continued to see the scratches under the sheen (I thought they could be from the wetsanding process). I'll explain better the process I've done. Before giving the polish, I gave the gloss coat, which I rubbed with # 240 (on a few parts of the rail line) - # 400 dry (on the whole board, with the polisher at 900rpm) - # 600 Wet - # 800 Wet - # 1000 Wet (all the wet was by hand).

Then I applied a product that I have that is Presta Ultra Polish (http://www.prestaproducts.com/Ultra_Polish__Chroma_1500-details.aspx) with the wet board. This product I think is not for cutting but to give shine (I assume that #1000 wet was enought to dont see the scratches. I gave this product with a medium thickness wool pad in about 900-1500rpm.

The final result is great for me, but want to figure it out how can I improve next time, and if is possible to dont see these scratches next time. I'll show some pics of the final result, maybe the scratches on the board are harder to show, but hope I explain well :)

Thanks, Tiago
