Can anyone recomend a polishing attachment/buffer for a electric drill.At the moment I`m using rags and muscle to bring a good finnish to my wheels,thought a buffer would be easier,are there any on the market for a drill[?]p.s and where to get hold of one.[]

I dont use it often as I’m sure it’ll shift things I dont want moving, but then a light cream polish seems to have them looking good.. not too much elbow grease.
Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!

January 10, 2006 at 11:01 pm #42070sidParticipantyou need the polishing kit and flexi adaptor then the buffy wheel wont shine it “lusters” and the metal drill attachment could easily mark the metal cos of the tight access
get a 4″ soft wheel,mandrill to fit and finishing soap or just stick with belgum chromelife sucks get used to it
January 10, 2006 at 11:04 pm #42071DiggerParticipantsound sid,got the belgum will buy the soft wheel and mandrill at the end of the month from busters,cheers.

January 10, 2006 at 11:07 pm #42072sidParticipantdont use the belgum with the soft wheel get the finishing soap as well but you shouldn’t need them on pre polished wheels 5 mins every coupla weeks with the belgum should keep them shiney and it leaves a wax coating on the wheels
