    I'm pretty lucky Pat i have a pro buffer setup in my workshop and i also have a good friend that is a pro polisher and chromer so he gives me what i need to do the job the best way.
    He supplied me with a load of felt wheels (he calls them bobs) that you glue up and then roll them in different grits 80, 180 & 320 they are absolutely fantastic for getting in places and especially good for raduising welds, They have speeded up the polishing process by 50% i reckon.
