Default Re: Lines left behind........HELP!

shoblue,

Those streaks that are showing in your first picture look like there in the aluminum, not streaks from you buffing! Those you may have to sand out or use an Aluminum etch to get out. After you polish try using Acetone to clean the buffing compound off before you use the Simple Green. Make sure that you rake your buffing wheels often.
The biggest wheel that I would use on a drill motor would be a 4". It's to hard to control anything bigger. You might try some Mothers Mag Wheel polish and see if that will help.
