I've got white rouge, and tripoli...i'm about to start the final steps of polishing my valve covers, but the package doesnt say which color tripoli is, i assume white rouge is white, and what order do you use them in?

Use the tripoli until the scratches are gone, probably only need 1 pass over the whole thing, then use the WR until its shiny. I only did 1 pass of each using the bench grinder on my MC. It takes some practice.
matthiasj said:well all i have is 2 of the same wheel...i will not mix, but thats what i have to work with. The tripoli took the hazing out from the sandpaper...and i thought you were suppost to go up to 2000 grit...
How is a diegrinder different from a drill or the buffing motor? If you use a back and forth method for the tripoli you'll be rubbing it in with your fingers...94GTLaserRC said:All the polishing info I have read says to use a back and forth, NOT rotating motion. Therefore the die grinders are not the "best" thing to use.

I'm confused at what you're trying to say there.
1105 said:Are you thinking of one of these? This is an angle grinder. Its the only thing I can think of that spins the wheel how you describe, unless you're thinking about an angle diegrinder
