Default Polishing Headers?

Hey Guys..I have a few sets of Stellings I'd like to polish up and remove some fine scratches. Just curious the best way to get the mirror finish back?

Preferably with angle die grinder but straight with work also. Good SS polish compound. And don't forget a lot of beer.

Are these a felt material? Do you have a link?

they are a rather dense felt pad. I use them all the time from polishing SS, chrome and even home made knives etc. Don't be afraid to wet sand bad areas with a fine paper. You can experiment on underside to see what you can get away with.

BTW I didn't get a link but I bought a few dozen on eBay. More than I'll in probably ten years. They hold up well.

Just do a quick search on eBay or google for 3" buffing pads.

You can also get them for 4" electric angle grinder.
