Who has polished wheels (Slots in this case ) Themselves? I know there are guys out there who do it professionally but I like to do stuff myself and I'm a tightwad. I started cleaning up my new slots this weekend and have had pretty good results with the two I have done so far. My technique was to break out my car buffer and use rubbing compound because I had it left over from buffing out my paint. It works pretty well but its hard to get in the tight spots. I'm getting pretty good gloss but not the near chrome look that I have seen. So what are the right tools for the job? I ate up a couple buffing pads doing the first two wheels. I was thinking of getting some polishing compound and using cone shaped buffs with my die grinder but I'm not sure what the correct compound is and where to buy it (Locally if possible). Any advice?
