It's a lot easier if you buy a spare one and sit in front of the telly and polish it.

Correct, it is metrology and works by the eye seeing more reflective 'grooves' so the finer the paper, the more grooves and the higher the effect.

Ideally keep movements on the same angular surface in the same direction, work linearly not in swirls.
