Finishing 316L welds and plates to mirror finish

I need to weld 316Ls/s plates onto 316Ls/s product bowl. The bowl has a mirror finish, what would be the best method to bring plates and welds up to mirror finish?

How big are your plates and how many pieces do you have to finish? In lieu of that, maybe a typical low quantity production should be processed with a hand held grinder/wheel system using a non-woven on both the plates and the weld. You may need a smaller version for the weld area.
