Sorry I should make this to the point so the drill is obviously out of the question and thats probably why my wheels didnt change isnt it lol? I should buy a dremel rotary tool for this

@Brendon00000 - The drill might work depending on its speed and buffing wheels. Forget using the dremel for polishing rims. It turn way too fast even at the lowest speed of varible speed units. It is great for small items. I have polished rims totally by hand producing a mirror finish before I had money for power equipment.

the wheels were sandblasted, theres nothing on it

@Brendon00000 - Well then, did you sand the wheels to at least a 240 grit level? Start will the roughest buffing wheel & course grit compound. Re-load the buffing wheel periodically with compound. Do not use too high a speed on the polisher as higher speeds create too much friction & toss the compound away. About 1700rpm should be fine. Once an even finished is obtained switch to the next finer buffing wheel & compound. I have polished rims to a mirror finish without problems.

now when you mean hot how hot because ill be buying a similar kit and will be polishing my dads semi truck fuel tanks and dont want anything to happen :P

@snowandskate69 - Keep in mind that the polishing process creates friction (heat). Keep your buffing wheel moving and do not stay in one spot for too long. Fuel tanks are big so you have lots of area to move around to. Heat should not be a problem. Good luck.

I got enkay wheel polish to polish my sandblasted 240sx wheels, nothing happens, either I can't polish or it doesn't work

@Brendon00000 - make sure the clear coat has been removed from the rims. You can either bead blast it off or use a chemical stripper for the job. I have used both methods with good results.
