sources for compounds, visit the local plastics shop for different grades of polishing sticks, plus they will also have a host of different round pads for the small hand held polisher.

(note: I have used my hand held disc grinder with larger pads, but note the machine will wear you out quickly but it will do the same thing as commercial chrome polishing shops that use it.)

once you have mastered this hand held makita you will love it. I use it on old style aluminum wheels, I sand them completely to get off the electrolsis and then make them look better than new. but it takes 4 hours per wheel.
