advice...polishing tool.?

[John the Canuck]

i have a running 1980s Peugeot on its way up here.......
[ plus possibly a barn-find as a winter rebuild project.]

i can see there's a fair bit of aluminium polishing needed but
i have Dupuytren's contracture, and after 10mins with the AutoSol on a rag - pain in fingers......

what tool would you use.?...... electric [cheaper.?]/rechargeable. ?/lightweight
capable of using some type of small buffer pad or wheel with the AutoSol

thanks

simple wire wool... polishes up lovely and shiny and clean

A dremel (or equivalent) works good unless youre doing large areas obviously - I got mine from Woolworths (back in the day) and it came with loads of bits including a few small polishing mops of different sizes (disks and barrels) and cutting paste too.

thanks ...but it's the 'grip' that is the problem causing discomfort after a while

You need four things:
1. Dremel style tool (but not Dremel as they're expensive)
2. A lot of stitched polishing wheels http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOOSE-LEA...VARIOUS-PACK-SIZES-4-DREMEL-ETC-/160808587319
3. Plenty of Autosol
4. Some eye protection

Eye protection, and outside as you will get splatter with a dremmel tool.
