Re: What kind of sanders should I buy?....
quadracer2cool4u,
I hope you guys are aware that "Baz" has been in the business a long time and he knows what he is talking about.
I'll give you this advise. "Don't make things more complicated than they are"! If you have a piece of aluminum that doesn't have scratches in it that you can catch with your fingernail, just polish it.
They make flap wheels of all different diameters and grits, get one that will fit in the area that you need to sand, if you need to sand. The little nooks and crannies can be sanded with Cratex or using some of the Dremel products. You can use greaseless compound on buffs that are any place from 1" in diameter or larger.
As far a curb rash goes, you want to sand with something big enough in diameter that you don't leave waves in the wheel edge.
As "Baz" recently stated look at the piece you are going to polish and form some kind of plan that you will use the least amount of labor and material to accomplish what you want.
