To polish things like the trans case and the bulks (both are a bitch to polish and time consuming) you need a wide assortment of materials & tools to do it successfully. I think the results of my work speak for themselves.
To start out though, go to your local homecenter , SEARS, or industrial hardware store and pick up ENCO polishing wheels and compounds. You can use a power drill but will need a way to secure the part without damaging it to polish it.
You can also locate a used motor, like from a dryer, mount it to a workbench and buy a 1/2" arbor adaptor. (1700-2500 rpm works well)Then you hold the part while you polish it.
Does any of this help????

Oh yeah, just need the idea and go from there is all. You did well! Thanks! I have dremmel for the small spaces too. But the wheels you get with it are cheap and weak IMO. But a nice buffer wheel would be good.
