I picked up my new 6″ buffing wheel from sears yesterday. I decided to try it out on the headlight. It was pretty rough.
Here’s the wheel and the compound.
I’m not sure how I feel about the wheel. I does a decent job of bringing out the shine, but I think I can do just as well with the 00 steel wool. I wasn’t able to get inside the ring with the wheel, so I had to use the steel wool. I think it turned out just as nice. I guess it doesn’t require quite as much physical labor though.
Check out how nasty the center stand was.
It’s much better now, but it took me quite a while. I don’t it would get any cleaner without sandblasting it and then painting it…and I’m not willing to do that just yet.

Dude, you are like Michael Jr. now with that buffing wheel. You are going to have that entire Moby shined up now. Bling City!
