                    I literally have no idea how to polish. I can never get that mirror sheen.

                      To get a good result and mirror finish it does take a lot of time and effort, but the finished result is well worth it. You can make life easier by removing as many scratches as possible with wet n' dry, I went down in grades all the way to 1200 grade. Plus using a polishing kit really helps and takes out a lot of the graft, once you have it looking pretty good then finish off with a final hand polish, using clean soft cotton cloths until you get that mirror finish;
