What grit was the polishing wheel and what effect did the strop have after polishing?

I have no idea. It was one of those black fibre ones that you attach to a drill. I had originally used it to polish stainless steel after welding. Stropping is the difference between reflecting light and reflecting image

Oh, you did that with a drill? I was imagining an arduous, hours long, hand polishing job. It looks great!
