that drill will give you 2500 surface feet per minute with 4" wheels. generally speaking this is to slow but with the right sanding job and a good "touch" you should be able to get them to shine well. be prepared to spend between 2-4 hrs per wheel for the entire process. best of luck and be sure to ask if you have more questions.
