I remember yall talking about SISA before and have always meant to ask - what exactly is SISA? Why is it better than regular pre-polish?

i take it that the pre polish i use is 600 grit and this stuff looks finer then the aluminum oxide polish i use. so the steps would be 60/90 - 120/220 - 500 or 600 - sisa - polish

Mine was an off- white tanish color. Go straight from 120/220 to SISA.
SISA is an extra fine silica pre-polish. It's suposed to be one of the highest quality pre-polishes on the market.

You wont need a 600 grit step. The SISA will be more then enough. With the alumina 1000 a 600 would be desirable. I'm currently experimenting with a product called tripoli; a powdered form of clay. We'll see how that goes.
