Default What's best for polishing?

Apart from elbow grease

I know you can get attachments for your drill, but wondered if anyone has experience of getting a polishing wheel or a 4" angle grinder? (If so, which wheels/attachments and from where?).

Any other tips for 'lazy' metal polishing?

Not looking to do a liamsimpson or whatever that thread was, just want to clean up my downpipe a bit and use something to buff the exhaust after it gets really cruddy!

if its just the exhaust you could use a polishing mop but dont use it on anything else as it can burn through the paint!!!!

Micro fibre cloths take a lot of the effort out if it .... amazing ... I use them for the car, house, bike .... everything now ..... although I've tried them in the shower yet !!

Make sure you keep one really dry though ....
