lets play a million questions here lol.ok, im out of school and just sitting around on my butt doing a whole lot of nothing getting fat and i need something to do. so i decided what i want to do im gonna start polishing stuff! but i have a few questions berfor i start and get my self in trouble! what is the best way to go about it? i have heard a few ways of doing it but which is the best? time is really no object for me cuz i have nothing planed for about a month and a half. i want something as close to a mirror finish if i can get it. how much is it going to cost me? i have like a huge dremel tool and some striping wheels for that but what other wheels will i need? what kind of maitanance am i going to have to do to it? can i get some kind of clear coat in a can to keep it from turning colors? what type of polishes do you recomend? last thing if you have any bad experinces while doing it, tips ect. please tell me because i want it to look good. thanks alot for any help you can give me.

thanks,
kicken
