And a lap-lap here and a lap-lap there

It seems lapping compound comes in 180-320-400-600-800 grits. To just freshen up a used head, which one is preferable? Or maybe two-step? Thanks.

I use Permatex 800-36. I have no idea what grit it is, but it makes short work of the job. I chuck the valve in a reversible drill to speed things along. My lap dog approves.

The Tech Data Sheet for that Permatex says that it contains various special grits, so I guess that means its a one size fits all. I was going to order some the other day when I ran across this and had the predictable brain meltdown. I've been studying auto body and paint, so the idea of using progressive grits kicked in. Argh.

It's...gray. And crunchy, like extra gritty toothpaste. I'll go look at the tube.
EDIT - Permatex 80037. It says "Made for the Professional". Therefore, eye er a professional.
