Polishing starter's kit checklist Looking to start doing some polishing under the hood. What all do I need to start out. I have a grinder that I can put wheels on and a dremel.

Re: Polishing starter's kit checklist I went with the Craftsman 6" bench buffer for a couple of reasons, you can get the 6" buffer in store but the 8" needs to be ordered. The 6" goes for $100 and the 8" sells for $150 plus you'll have about $35/40 in shipping, I thought for my use the 6" would work fine and the money saved would pay for most if not all the supplies needed.
Supplies I ordered from Eastwood are, canton flannel, spiral sewn and sisal buffing wheels and a couple of felt cones. For compounds I ordered, stainless, tripoli, white rouge and if you're going to polish plastic you'll want plastic compound.
I only ordered one each of the buffing wheels but if I had to do it over again I'd order two of each, I also got the buff rake to clean the wheels.
