If that's a smooth but coated surface, you just need to strip it and then use the kit.
When I started out I tried using a cheap electric drill but almost burnt it up immediately. So, get a heavy-duty commercial drill or right-angle sander/polisher. Or, an air-powered drill if you have a compressor.
The real experts will be along shortly to help you further I'm sure...

this forum is great! i think i stumbled upon a new hobby. stuff like this will keep me in the garage and away from housework (especially painting). i'm definitely going to buy the kit, but was thinking of adding "Flitz" for the final polishing. just want to order everything in one shot to save on shipping.
LOL... I guessed I got ripped off?!?! oh well... live and learn.
The surface you described is definitely sandcast. I'm assuming I should use some sort of sanding block for the 220 and not the drill, right? Also, how much for a quality drill at Home Depot or Lowes? Are we talking about less than a hundred or a than $200?
