I used tin oxide. I finished the cabs on the 1200 genie wheel then hand sanded 1000 wet to eliminate any scratches (the nova wheels can scratch this material. My set-up is tin oxide on a foam backed canvas. I'm amazed that the oxide brought out such a great shine. I used to use automotive wax but that gave a satin finish.

Hey Ed. Good to see you around again. The local rock shop has a flat of those ammonites from Morocco. All of them were satin polished like yours then sealed with poly or lacquer. They look really good, hard to tell they are not polished.
