Polishing with a Dremel!?

I am about to undergo the task of polishing the lip of my wheels with my dremel tool. I was wondering if anyone could give me the exact bits I would need to use for the job, including a brief discription as to what to do. Also, any suggestions on polishing compound, tips and everything. And I know this quesiton has been asking 1000 times over and I have the general Idea of how to do, I just dont know exactly what dremel bits to use.

thanks for any help.

I used mine recently to polish some stuff. Go get a cotton tip polishing bit (white, made of cotton or some kind of fiber), and get a thing of dremel polishing compound (that's what I used). It works, but takes awhile. I also used fine steel wool, and then went over it with the dremel. To finish the job, I used Never Dull by Eagle 1. Don't know how long a wheel would take, but it works and really puts on a shine.

Thanks for your reply, that helps alot. Also, do you have any idea what kind of bit to use to remove the Paint/Clear Coat? I am really scared of using a bit that is too harsh and will score the wheel, so any ideas?

Thanks

As far as a bit, I wouldn't know, I would just use some steel wool, or you could use a soft wire brush. Forgot all about the paint and clearcoat.
