Has anyone had satisfactory results polishing metal
with the wool-felt wheels advertised on U-tube or Temu ???

Depends on what condition the metal is in before you start. I use the wool-felt wheels with different rouges as final steps.

I use various abrasive nylon wheels for first and second passes. These wheels are good for getting into tight spots.

You must remember that angle grinders commonly turn at 8500 RPM, which will rapidly heat up your work. A polished surface can't hide a heat warped panel.
