Default Polishing Kits

Got myself a new toy the other day....



Turns things like this.....



Into things like this....



But I'm in the middle of doing something a little more fiddly & have found that the standard 6" wheels are too big for me to get into fiddly areas so I'm looking for somewhere that do a good kit like this....



Anyone know of anywhere that could help me please ???

Danny mate....you've got PM!!

Yeah they do work well.....just gotta be patient....something I'm usually not but when you manage to churn out items like that oil return pipe it all becomes worth it!!!

Yeah that was in the kitchen missus went mad afterwards - took me longer to clean up than it did to polish some bits! LOL! Learnt my lesson & put a dust sheet down when I did some more bits yesterday!!!
