Polishing (Superfine Polishing Wheel - White):

• Replace the fine finishing wheel with the superfine polishing wheel on the mandrel.
• Apply light to moderate pressure, similar to the finishing step.
• Polish the restoration surface in a slow and controlled manner.

Evaluate and Adjust as Needed:

• Periodically inspect the restoration surface for the desired finish. If necessary, repeat the polishing step to achieve the desired result.
