I have an extensive and comprehensive assortment of "polishing tools" at home. I have 5 different compounds, more than a dozen polishing wheels from 3/8" dia up to 8" dia. Plus 6 different polishes, 11 grades of sandpaper (36g - 1000g), 3-grades of scotchbrite, bentchtop buffer w/ 1/2" mandrels, dozens of diferent grades & shapes of files, and numerous other things that escape my mind this morning. 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????
