Heya all
For normal polishing i will use "rigger" style gloves, they are reasonably thin, so you can feel the part and it wont slip, and they are also made from leather and cheap as!!
For stainless polishing that gets real hot i use nomex pit crew gloves with little silicon non-slip dimples on them, they are a bit more expensive, but they work better with the higher temps and are still thin enough to not fumble around the job
Mark!!
