def. go w/ eastwood

I ordered the aluminum manifold kit for $55 w/ a can of clear coat

I also ordered a buff rake(13), a set of 6 compounds (30), some 3" buff wheels (3-4ish), and another can of clear coat

as of now I'm only runnin off air tools but hopefully in a little while I'll be gettin the 3/4hp buffin wheel and 10" wheels off eastwood

heres what you can do w/ just the aluminum kit

Hi, my name is Rich. I work for the Eastwood company if you need any help let me know. Thanks

[muff]

hey Rich, just want to say I like your company and you guys have some fast shipping

one question for you, I'm gonna be polishin some bigger stuff like swingarm and oil coolers, is the 3/4hp motor good or is the smaller ones ok

i'm pretty much just askin if the higher hp buffing motors worth the extra $

[RABMotorsports]

Well I would say that if you are going to be doing some larger pieces get the bigger motor. With that one you can use the ten" wheel and double up on them to cover a larger area. I can get you a decent price on one if interested. Thanks

Hey Rich... Yeah you guys do have some fast shipping... I just got my polishing supplise today:D And optikid, order one of there polishing kits for the mag or aluminum wheels... Thats what I got but I pieced it together myself because i felt that I didnt need some of the parts... Get a bunch of spiral buffs, a couple loose buffs, some greasless sanding compounds, and the tripoly and white rouge compounds and you should be all set. If there is anything I left out feel free to correct me Rich.

Sounds like you are good to go. just be sure not to mix compunds on the same whhel. It is not a real good idea.

I was wondering if you sold stuff for drimels, I need a soft wire wheel to clean stuck on dirt and get the scratches out of it, then some thing for the drimel to polish it. How does that sound with some compounds? I am not really sure what i need. Thanks

as for price I'm not sure, my dad gave it to me as a christmas gift, he got it at home depot, and I think it takes 1/4" bits but i'm not positive on that either
