Yes, buffing.
I had recently performed some repairs to an couple epoxy coated tables. To finish the job and have all thongs lookiong untoughed, clean and shiny, I consulted with my friend who is a bodyman. He gave me the low down on how to polish that finish up as good as new and it worked incredibly!
So
A few days later, I had to buy a new Microwave as our old one gave up the ghost after 9 years of faithful service…. and the geniuses at the factory put this huge sticker on the door with non-removeable glue… and i used goof-off to remove the adhesive which also clouded the plastic window.
Well, now I had to fix my screw up…. luckily I’m good at fixing my mistakes because I have so much experience making them…. and with my newfound knowledge I was ready for this one.
After a few minutes of buffing, all was as good as new again.
For the record, on the table tops, I had to sand first with progressively finer grits…. 600 then 1000 then 1500…. the rubbing compund and then polishing compound. For the microwave, I went straight to polishing compound and spent a little extra time to get it right.
Even when the sunlight shines across it, you can’t tell that the repair was made (on the table or the microwave door).
When you’re this good, EVERYONE wants a crack at you!

I saw the title and came in here to find out what Buck was up to now. That struck me as a thread title he'd make.
Nevertheless, cool. Polishing out a finish is its own little art form. Nothing is hard when you know how, right? Try a true varnish and see how you fare. Thats the one that has frustrated me in the past. You have to lay the finish down just right or when you buff it out you get a witness line. Grrr.
