I just finished polishing my wheels yesterday. I used white, red rouge then finished them off with Mothers by hand. It's amazing how much difference and little time and effort can make.
 
Finally someone comes out with a thread about all the things needed for polishing!


This is going to be very helpful. I'm going to save it in my favorites! :D
 
Can you use a normal power drill and get same results i want to polish some stuff on my bike but dont wanna do it by hand lol
 
i have been polishing some stuff recently

i have a loose sewn wheel and light compound, but i cant get rid of the little scratches seen in reflections.

what would be the best finishing polish for the bench grinder? and can i get it at menards? lol
