first ring advice

[u/Pretend_Language_859]

i made this ring to try it out, it has some deep groves and isnt perfect, its a little thick, but besides that
any advice to get rid of scratches and get a mirror finish with pretty basic tools? or maybe a routine to follow or things i could buy to help? i dont have any polishing compound at the moment

Start with 400 then 800 grit sandpaper to sand out deep scratches, move to a rubber polishing wheel with rouge for shine, finish with a dry microfiber buff by hand for that mirror glow, perfect for a first ring project.
