Metal polish is too fine. Seals need some texture to work properly. Suggest finishing off with 320-400 grit wet-n-dry.

I believe the Race Tech seals are the same as stock. The fork seals are the same NOK brand. Ass-U-Me the shock seals are NOK also. Suggest replacing the seal head (bushing, seal, scraper, o-ring) assembly.

Get RaceTech's seal grease also, very good stuff.

Don't run without the fender extender (hangy-downy bit) to keep the rock chips off.
