This is my first restoration needing a Oxiclean soak. After soaking a well oxidized stem for over an hour, then letting it dry over night, I am left with a heavy whitish coating on the stems. I removed almost all of it using 600 grit sandpaper. Should I progress through all the stages of micro mesh, or use the Tripoli and white diamond wheels? When I went from the 600 grit right to Tripoli and white diamond the stem still isn't as deep black as it should be. There is still a little oxidation that's hard to see in the photo.
