I am happy with the wheel kit. It didn't come with every screw you need but I found what I needed in the box that I throw all my extra ones in from other jobs. It doesn't come with instructions either so it took me a while to figure out how it all goes together. You do have to cut the horn contact pin as the one they give you is too long.

Thanks.
I can't imagine how tedious polishing stainless on the car would be. I've never tried it.
I don't have any trouble with maneuvering the long stainless with my free standing polisher with the long shafts and large wheels. Always have to be thinking about your holding angles though.

I've still been plugging away on my project and will have an update coming in within the next day or 2.
