cool thanks for list.... ive got the drills and adaptors was wondering if the metal or wire brush attachments are better to use on the wheel? i used that when sanding my rust panels back ?

dont use auto sol, my polisher gave me some **** to take care of mine, auto sol just cuts through it, creating un ven surfaces!

dont use wire attachements itll dig into the rim, no wire or sanding, all by hand and only use a full rag buffing wheel, i had bad experiences with abrasive types of wheels
