I think they look great! Nicely smoothed out, polish looks good. If you want to remove more of the skin, though, I would go back further than prepolish, which will remove very little.
Bahia agates are often a difficult call for me. There are some flaws that just aren't going to be removed, and sometimes it is hard for me to decide whether it is worth just one more 60/90 run.

Thank you They were fun to do though I have to admit I played "nurse/maid" with them. I wanted to leave outer material on them, but not too much..wait, no a little more off.. I was checking them every 8 hours in the 60/90 for the last two days and every 4 hours in the 220 and the UV. Once I moved to pre-polish I quit worrying about it. With more experience I will get a better handle on tumble times to remove what I want, with out the baby sitting lol.

Those are gorgeous!! They're new to me. Are you going to cab or wrap any? They're stunning.
