When I was a teen I purchased an arbor and some felt wheels and have been polishing ever since. MC cases,wheels,brass bells,,,lots of stuff. To do the alcoas i dismount the buffer from the vice and hold the motor in my hands. You must use the corect polishing compound. My wheels were poor but not bad. Polishing was taking to long so I used 2000 or 1500 wet/dry sand paper and then polished it with the buffer. Do a small area first,,,,to see whats needed. Took about 2 hours of hard work per wheel. I use a 1/3 horse 1750 rpm mtr. Heavy but it works. Wheels from anywhere. Hardware store,,,internet. Polish comes in diffrent grades in stick form. Sometimes I use paste. Whenn the mtr gets too hot to hold with gloves I set it in front of a fan and sand a diffrent wheel. I also whould remove the wheel/tire and set on a bench instead of bending over. Its real handy having a polisher,,,,,,PL
