The truth is that nothing really gets rid of them short of re-sanding the entire blade with something coarser than what caused them. I've tried every trick and found that the hard way is the only way if you want it to look good.

The buffing pad sounds like an easy option but im guessing its not, its never that easy !!
You can get damned close to a mirror polish with 2500 grit. We're talking sub-micron grit here.
But deep scratches will remain. And why one would wish a mirror polish? Food would stick.You can get damned close to a mirror polish with 2500 grit. We're talking sub-micron grit here.
2500 grit is not even close to mirror.
2500 grit is 8 micron.
8 micron is approx. 2000 grit waterstone.

it really depends. on a convex grind, a bright polish can improve feel while cutting, i've found.
On a very convex one, which therefore has to be quite thick.
