Re: Optimum Metal Polish
Cool write up. What pads do you normally use when using the Flex? It looks like a wool pad. Do you have to follow that up with a foam pad? Thanks

Re: Optimum Metal Polish
what tools are you using to polish the intricacies of the wheels?
also, while it has protection built in...if i spent all that time polishing those intricate wheels, you can bet i'd be washing those things well with Power Clean and when they are all clean and dry, coating the heck out of them.

Re: Optimum Metal Polish
I use this stuff with a 3 inch wool pad on my pe8 or with foam polishing cones for my drill. Great product and nice review.

I love to use the Wolfgang Metal Polishing Wool pads(link below), however I do use Lake Country Cutting pads at times on less oxidized surfaces.

I prefer to use the Flex 3401 with pads mentioned above for the large surfaces along with the Meguiars Dyna Cone and lots of elbow grease! Around the spokes, I use cheap, short nap towels to work in, out, and thread in between.

Re: Optimum Metal Polish
I know a lot of metal polishers use rouge bars and buffing wheels. Have you messed with them at all?

I have not used either but have been looking into getting a set of buffing wheels.
