Buying advice

Consider the material you are polishing (metal, paint, plastic) and the desired finish. For aggressive cutting, use sisal wheels; for fine polishing, use cotton or flannel wheels. Match wheel diameter to your grinder speed: larger wheels need lower RPM. Check compatibility with your tool's arbor size.
