Thats right!
I picked up a 1/4" die grinder (made in the USA type) 20,000 or so rpm with an assortment of high speed 1/4" shank cylinder and bullet polishing felts
Wheels need some work, but this should speed things along very nicely.

While I was at it, I picked up a composite 1/2" Drive, 600ftlbs Tq Impact Driver..........for the suspension work coming up....

 

what type of compound are you supossed to use, and where did u get the bullets?

 

Got the bullets from a local Tool Depot......No Compound yet, trying to get by with a liquid first....however if it gets to a compound.......I will be trying something like this

i have a diegrinder and alot of different compounds i just need to find some bullets somewhere

 

that link sells them bro

 

Watch out for those bullet polishing felts. those suckers will fly apart on you FAST! i learned the hard way

 

gotta buy good ****....

 

Those look like clay bars to me. Are they felt. I want to know how you are going to put them on your grinder and stuff. Can you take some pics. YOu know some people need to learn by visual aid.

 

you take your felt bullet, mount it in a die grinder or drill motor:

then you activate the motor, when bullet starts to spin, you put it against the compound stick:

this transfers material to the felt bullet, then you take that and polish up your wheels or whatever you want. There are compounds for different metals, so you have to make sure you get the right compound for the job. For aluminum its usually tripoli and white rouge.

 

Cool deal, I thought that you had to out the bar on the grinder, causing me to get confused. There is a first time for everything.

My other question does that work better than some billet polish. I have put a pad and polsihed my wheels with a high speed orbital and polish and it works great. But I am thinking this is the true way to polish your wheels.

One final question: where did you pick up that felt bullet. I have seen only for Dremels. But those are to small for a drill or a grinder? thanks buddy.
