Why is it necessary, in re-blueing a firearm, to polish the original finish away before applying the new finish? It seems that the new blueing would cover all surface areas where the original finish had worn away.

This is a theoretical question, and not a practical problem.
Polishing is said to be the most important step in the process. I have no reason to dispute that. I just don't understand why. It seems that after degreasing, the factory polish would suffice before submerging the item in the tank, and only the bare metal would be affected by the salts.
