Depending on the condition sometimes you have to start with something a bit more aggressive like 220 grit to get the bad scratches out. I like "Blue Magic" FWIW. Mostly I wanted to point out that you really don't have to polish the part in the frame. Who's going to see it? Some insertion marks go pretty deep, and you could end up with a size smaller post. I just polish down to the min insertion line, or, test fit the post to see how much is showing. (comes out pretty much the same for me with shortish Campy posts)
