Anyone know if they is a little buffer or even an attachment for my drill which I could use to buff my wheels? It's a pain to do it by hand. Plus it never turns out great because I get tired of it after the first couple. :crazy:

Thanks

there should be something you could attach to the end of it

Buffin out your own rim, huh?

Man. Be careful with the speed or you wont be able to sit down for weeks. I do not advise this, at all. Being in SF I have seen some horrible rim polishing related tragedies. Know those guys you see in assless chaps? Yup. Rim polish job gone wrong.

mac tools makes a little buffer its like a 100 bucks works really well it much better than what you can buy for a drill or a die grinder. Die grinder is to fast but has no power and a drill just insnt fast enough this is just right well worth the money.

I usually just used it to buff off the wheel polish and didn't use those compunds.:(

A wax company named MARK 5 has a mini wheel buffing kit, just like the big buffer kits. It comes with a drill adapter, 2 foam pads, 2 wool pads and velcro pad backing. I wish i had this when I had my dull Alcoas..............
