I havent got anything to polish tired and marked ally etc - are these kits a good place to start ?

Are they capable of making tired exhaust headers look shiny and new again. Also interested in polishing out scratches from a couple of old Silencers... I guess the results are proportionate to the effort put in ?

They work, but slowly, and don't do your drill's bearings any good at all.

A better method is to aquire a 2650 rpm 1 hp motor, then get a spindle which fist the shaft to take the mops,16mm R/H Taper spindles Polishing Kit/ polishing mop | eBay

Then buy the mops and compounds you need.

polishing is messy and boring, been there, I just painted the parts!
