chaotik is on a distinguished road
Default Greaseless or abrasive ahesive system?????

OK.... I do alot of polishing on semis and most of the areas I can get to with a 5" random orbit sander.

But..on the rear drive wheels of a semi...because of the huge backspacing on them, its hard to get a sander into the back area where the horizontal lip of the rim meets the vertical rear face. This area doesnt see alot of road debris damage, but it is the place were all the **** from the road (calcium chloride, lime from quarrys, etc.) likes to accumulate and does some damage to the rim.

I was thinking either the greaseless or the Caswell system of the abrasive adhesive and then you roll the tacky cement thru the abrasive grit of choice. I like this idea because yo can use whatever wheel, bob, etc. that you feel good with getting in there.

I was wondering if anyone has used the system and how long an application lasts....I dont want to have to buy 15 bobs so I can do 4 drive wheels before having to stop and redo all the bobs with the abrasive, then wait for it to cure, etc.

Plus what are your thoughts on using the greaseless for this?? Never used this either so I am trying to weigh my options....

THANKS for the help...LOVE it here!!

MIKE
