Do you have any photos? It would be handy to know what it looks like. When you say sleeve, do you mean the runner or is it something else? -

I’ve bought some diamond plates, 400-2000 grit in a set. Depending on how blunt I get the graver, I’ll start between 400-800 and keep going until the face has been completely removed, ensuring the corners are even. I then do about 50-100 passes (higher as the grit level increases, through the range of grits, checking the top sides adjacent to the face for burs and removing them as necessary. Once if finished the 2000 grit, I then finish the face on an Arkansas stone. I have a relatively cheap graver holder for sharpening but it seems to do the trick. The plates are pretty cheap too. I picked them up on Amazon -

If the crystals are glass as i thought they might be then no the autosol or any other polish unfortunately doesn't work unless you are prepared to put in lots and lots and lots of hours on it and then a few more hours. Dont try sandpaper as you wont get those scratches out by hand either, its not fun unless this is your idea of fun. Best bet Melissa is going to be diminishing grades of diamond paste used with a mechanical buffer. -

A similar principle is used in wood turning though the chisel tip has a different shape in order to plane the wood but the same skew angle is maintained. In timber around 45° with either a skew chisel or a skew approach angle, the cut comes from the center of the tool except when detailing .
