The idea is to work your way up through the grits. Start at say 400, then you can use 600, then 1000, 1500, 2000 and then finish it off with a polishing compound.

After doing what mrcnja said, use never dull.  
It takes very little and it will last forever. I can polish maybe 2 yoyos with a wad the size of a quarter.
