I'm finally getting ready to polish the wheels of my Mk3 to be able to reassemble them and was wondering what specific buff is used to polish the inner curvature of the wheels? Do you use a 6" or 8" airway buff just held at an angle or some other implement to get in that space? Does anyone have a favorite final polish too? Thanks in advance!

Can you be more specific?

Wheel = RIM?

Reassemble them = lace the hub to the rim?

I'm out.
 
I’m trying to get the best buff accessory to buff the inner curved surface of each hub. Airway or wool? Size of the accessory. Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough. Thanks

What do you already have?
Pedestal buffer?
Rag wheels & rouge?

Ghetto method is 3" wide strips of cotton bath towel, mothers mag & wrap it around.
 
Go to a polishing supplies shop or online and buy a selection of 6" and 8" cotton , calico ? buffs , im not sure what cloth it is , you can buy narrow and wide but the narrow ones use less hp and you can sort of bend/sway them around in the curves, get some compound and some fine finishing compound , also buy some felt discs for an angle grinder these are awesome for all sorts of polishing , you can also use some autosol . Cheers
 
what I have now is 2 8" pedestals ; a random orbit either 4 or 5" hand buffer, and a self-built pedestal that I can put just about any wheel on (based on 1hp motor) but it has a 3/4" shaft. Thanks everyone for info
