hi there on the first stage you use a grinder to take the rough away what grit was you using

[UncleJimmi]

@williamson606

Sorry for slacking on your questions, Keep um coming and I will do better to keep up.

[jakalero]

just one question how do you get in the small areas?

[UncleJimmi]

@jakalero In many cases I make my own bits and bobs for a die grinder and belive it or not my fingers often do much of the work.

HOLY SHIT, Im just learning about buffing and polishing, but its pretty fuckin obvious that this dude is NASTY at what he does. Im about to attemp my second one the lower forks for my motorcycle. great stuff man, keep the vids coming.

hey man.. ive been polishing for about a year now... ive wanted to try using a rotary sander but my pieces are pretty small (motorcycle parts) and im scared ill gauge them. hand sanding is a bitch though. tips? also what do you use to remove rouge between stages? or do you just take the part from one wheel and go directly to another? i dont want to contaminate my color wheels with cutting compounds.

nice setup you have.. i would love a wheel like that!

[UncleJimmi]

@montecarlo409 You can bench mount a Makita and on mine I had an extention made for the shaft to get the wheels away from the machine and my fingers.

@41tonytone done! Nice work guys.
