As you indicated the leather strap is charged, you're probably using it like a strip of emery cloth sand paper.
So I'm interested in your describing this process, and what lapping grit is needed to get that mirror finish.
Thanks Olderdan.
The polishing process is working down to finer medium in stages maybe 4 or 5 steps depending on what you are starting from to the finish desired, I was using diamond paste. 45 down to 3 Microns The method is to lap in the opposite direction to the marks you need to remove, this tool does that while preserving roundness as you can see in first stage in my cyl square post.
