Thread: Polishing Hubs

I am having some problems getting into all the nooks and crannies of the front hub when trying to polish with a 6" buffing wheel using tripoli. Any suggestions from the pros?

I don't know about polishing hubs, but I have used a smaller wheel in an air powered die grinder to get tight places.

I used an eight inch wheel to get to most of the part and then went to a small die grinder with a cloth style formed tip to do the rest. When I was done with the small stuff I went back over it with the eight inch wheel again. When I assembled it I noticed that most of the smaller nooks and crannies were covered by another part so you might want to assemble some parts and see whats covered before you polish for days on end!

I used a dremel tool and it worked great. Messy..a little time consuming...but turned out great.
