  • Polishing wheel windows, Anyone have any tricks or recommended tools?

    As the title says, has anyone had any good luck with any small buffing heads/tools. I'm ideally looking at cones and stuff to get in the tight to reach corners. I had no trouble stripping and polishing the faces. I was thinking of picking up this kit http://www.eastwood.com/aluminum-pol...13-pc-set.html . Anyone have any experience? No, I will not get them stainless dipped or professionally done. I'd rather do everything myself even if it takes time.

    I usually hand polish all my lips.. it sucks but worth it in the long run, but for ~$30 I'd buy that kit and at least try it out.
    I own an Eastwood roller, Western PA area, but will travel for $$

      Yeah, I have no problems with the lips or faces. It's just in the little corners and cavities of the wheels face/windows that I'm having trouble getting the mirror finish. Nothing tons more elbow grease cant fix i suppose

        if you have an electric drill, there are a ton of attachments you can buy with little wool balls on the tip (haha). Try the Lake Country wool metal polishing attachment, its a great tool. If I remember correctly, mine was ~20 bux about a year back. Remember to wash it and it'd good forever. Just use with any normal metal polish. A variable speed drill helps too!
