True that, Mark,
But speaking of Harbor Freight, ...here is bascially the same thing with
MORE buffing attachments and compounds for ALOT less:
http://www.harborfreight.com/14-piece-aluminum-polishing-kit-98707.html
I used this kit to polish out my SU domes, with awesome results,... there
are pics of them on the 311s Forum.
PS,...You will still need a 1/4" die grinder or high-speed electric rotary
tool equivalent to polish well in a reasonable amount of time. I've also
tried the Mequire's buffing ball and the HF kit on a drill, ......one
word.........for-gedd-about-it........
Good Luck,
Mike Hudson '67 - Stoker / 5-Speed
