Message	****TOOLS NEEDED***** (4) buffs, 3"-5" in diameter La-Z-Link (1) buff arbor (for the above buffs) (1) high rpm drill (not cordless) (1) set of greasless compounds (80, 220 & 320 grit) La-Z-Link (1) rotating wire wheel La-Z-Link (1) pair of goggles and (1) breather mask.. (trust me on this.) (1) pair of clothes that you don't miss (again... trust me) (1) grinding bit (aluminum oxide preferred) (1) assortment of sand paper (use only 80, 220, 320 grit to match the compound.. it's important for finish) (1) white rouge polishing compound La-Z-Link Where to buy the "buffs" and "buff arbor"? I have never polished anything and the write up looks pretty simple, but can someone give me a link to what exactly I need? There was a link in the write up im looking at but no longer works
