  2. Some surface imperfections (cold shut, rubs, surface porosity, etc.) not objectionable.
  3. Slight surface imperfections (cold shut, rubs, surface porosity, etc.), that can be removed by spot polishing not objectionable.
  4. Surface imperfections, that can be removed by automatic buffing, not objectionable.
