Failing to Polish an Engine Case and other bits and bobs. -

Invest in a cheap bench mounted buffing wheel and grinding wheel combo. Both are useful in the garage and the buffing wheel can take different types of mop e.g. sisal (sp?) for hard polishing and soft mops used with buffing compound, You have to remove items to be polished but you get better results quicker. The footrest hangers will come up a treat. I also finish off with Autosol on the buffing wheel for the final polish. Actually I smear Autosol on the part to be polished and buff it off.
