> Why would you pay someone your hard earned money to polish your knob… er, i mean wheels, when you can do it yourself with a little elbow grease.

a little. I LOL at that.

to even get efficent enough to do a 16" wheel like I pictured in less than 4 hours a piece, you are spending close to $100-$200+ in materials to do it “professionally”, less machinery to mount the wheels on. And the harbor freight 3/4hp one you can physically stop with a 7" single wheel polishing large parts, so dont waste money on that bench top polisher.

I have a bin full of compounds, greasless compounds, wheels of all sizes and types, buffer with an adapter I machined to mount a stack of 3 wheels to a heavyduty autobody buffer, and a benchtop machine to do it “some what efficently”.

And I hate doing it, thats should tell you how much it sucks to polish wheels!

But enjoy the elbow grease, hell Ill lend you the bin of stuff I got if you want!
