I have been working on polishing my front fenders.

I had to color sand the inside due to some orange peel and well - dirt. I did not want hand compound so I bought this:

3" polisher

It is a Harbor Freight cheapy, but I am not doing production. Plus that area would be a lot of hand polishing.

I was working on the top side and the little polisher really did its job. I was able to fix a buffing screw up made by my big polisher and get my bead area polished.

There are some nice $300 electric tools I would love to have. Lets face it $300 is just not in the budget. So for $37 minus the 20% coupon I got the Harbor Freight item. The foam pads are kind of crappy, but I just need to buy some real ones.
