Wheel Polishing tool?

I just got done polishing my aluminum wheels and was wondering if anybody has ever seen a tool that will attach to a drill so you can polish the wheel with out wearing out your hands. (like a drill bit with a polishing pad on the end of it) sounds pretty simple concept and i am sure that somebody makes something to make the polishing easier

thanks

You should get a dremel, they are relatively inexpensive, have millions of uses, and have tons of addons, many made especially for your job. I just use a standard polishing wheel on mine with mother mags and it works great and fast.

Flitz is good stuff! I don't think I'll ever go without a tube of that stuff in the toolbox.

FlitZ is good stuff yes, but http://www.whitediamondpolish.com is best, it Cuts, Cleans, Polishes, and Seals all in one application, and requires 1/4 of the elbow grease most other compounds do...Also can be left on for virtually any amount of time, and isn't a PITA to remove like other compounds. I have pics if you would like to see email me at XxXTransAm2@aol.com or IM me on AIM @ MxRacer476

Re: Wheel Polishing tool?

I went out and got a Craftsman Rotary tool (Dremel) at about half the cost and also got some polishing tool attachments but I haven't had time to try it out yet. Looks like this is the ticket!!!!

Thanks for all the input
