You mean that when I polish and wax the copper before priming with 
clear pre-resist and then a post primer and then resist, then bake 
the coating on prior to confromal coating that I'm doing a little too 
much ?

I always thought that the time it took to polish the solder joints 
was kinda long, espically the parts under the SMT chips.

Seems the only thing that takes longer is when I have to re-work 
resistors so the %rating is always on the right hand side.  SMT are a 
little easier as getting the text lined up does not take as long.
