Default cable finish

I've been running into a problem when bluing cable blades .
I'm doing edge quenches for the most part . After etching I use cold blue then sand with 1500 or 2000 grit paper backed by a rubber squeegee to bring out the highlights. The hardened edge of the blade always seems blurry or mottled. Anyone else run into this problem? Thanks bruce
