My hollow grinds are getting much, much better and I have been completing knives just to continue my education on all aspects of handmade knives. The picture included is knife #2 and 3.

My current problem is How to polish the blade itself WHILE keeping the grind line clear, clean and distinct? Following Engath's advice I made a tool to help with the sanding process and was successful at removing all grind lines... BUT the grind line vanished with the sanding process.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to upload your picture to a photo hosting site, then put the link here, the link you provided is to your Hard Drive, doesn't work like that
 
Not sure if its the way, but flat grinding the knife can bring back crisp lines you screwed up so it might work here?
 
I have no idea how to upload photos then... Regardless - Any techniques or advice as to how to polish hollow grinds and keep grind lines clear?

Polish hollow grinds on a felt wheel of the same size as the wheel you grind with.
If you have flats on the blade, they should be sanded last, using a sanding block.
