    We polish the seats and under the heads thouroughly after cutting
    and before setting to make sure we have the best possible finish
    under the stone. Once it is set, it's realy hard to go back under
    there and fix any scratch or polish issues. 

    As for the rest of the piece, I just find it easier to see what I am
    doing and make sure everything is right before I set by having
    everything clean. It helps avoid using the wrong "mark" when trying
    to set things level and square.
