I ended up using course compound and the course wheel to take away all the corrosion and the yellow wheel with green medium to fine compound to bring them to a shine.  I&#8217;m not trying to get a super shine or to the point they are concours.  I&#8217;m happy with  excellent drivers and good for local car shows.  The two pictured were the worst of the set and they look just nice.  Now I need to find $100 to get them mounted and balanced!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of three 8&#8243; buffing wheels I got off Amazon.
