I don't have pics of the wheels, but the wheels I use I typically get right from Caswell. I use a 6" vented buff (sometimes I stack 2-3 together on the buffer) for the tripoli (brown) compound, a 6" tight spiral for the green and 6" loose cotton or flannel for the white.
I use 4" or 6" tight spirals for the greaseless compounds. (1 wheel in each size for each grit)
I also have a good selection of mini bobs for tight areas...
As for a time estimate, it's gonna take several hours for each wheel just to sand 'em. (Depening on initial condition of course) The more time you spend on prep, the better your result will be. About 75% of the time I spent on a part is sanding, 15% on the buffer and the remaining 10% is spent cleaning the parts between steps, changing wheels on the buffer and reapplying compounds. Patience and practice will get you the results you're looking for. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be one "magic "step that makes it all easy.
