Look into buying a polishing kit, Dremel do a home kit for about Ԛ£20-30.

do you know if the dremel kit will fit onto a normal cordless, or do you need a dremel for the kit?

If the chuck on the drill will accept a 3mm drill bit, then yes, but the drill will need to be cappable of above 800-1000Rpm due to the small size of the kit, Bigger mops/disks need a slower speed.

get em in a lathe....will be hard work stripping back and polishing with drills and the like

There is a good kit on frosts website. It about 45 pound.

Great for people who want to give it a go them selves, and for small areas like ips of wheels.

IԚ´m not sure if its compatible with a regular drill. should be fine as long as the mops large enough. The compounds are supplied with the kit.

hope this helps

The frost kit is definately the best one for a DIY job, closest you will ge to a professional job.. or you can give me a shout and check some of the finishes we do in the gallery here: www.pureklas.co.uk

What wheels are thy that people are refurbing, as its best to polish to a line, if your wheels have one.
