    Not really a "garage" question, but close enough!!

    Is there a power tool polishing attachment available to clean out the 32 holes around the rim?? They are all dark and grimy and I would like to set up a lawn chair, beer cooler and watch my kids clean out all 128 holes on my truck!!!!

    Flitz makes a nice product. It goes in a drill and it's a 3 inch ball. I bet it's exactly what you need.

    As long as we are talking polishing what does anyone recommend for a polisher. I don't need the best one out there as its just for my personal use. That being said I don't want to buy complete junk either.

    A good buffer with airway cutting and polishing wheels with plastic safety cones. You cant use an angle grinder because it spins way too fast (the fabric blows up).

    The manufactures don't recommend it. Most professional guys use them because they cut faster. I use a 6000 rpm 7" grinder with zephyr wheels and have no problems. It does use the wheel up faster but makes polishing easier.
