Yep, use them all the time but, only good on large flat surfaces with no raised detail. Always better off with a traditional mop ;)

Every so often Lidl stock a 125mm 240v angle grinder which has speed controll as a standard feature along with Scotchbrite 'disks' and a velcro backing pad. , very good for polishing, though I have only used it on my wood turning projects - I am afraid I don't do polish on bikes so ain't tried it on that.

I fully agree you can't beat a proper polishing machine and loads of fancy pants mops etc Graham but we are in lockdown and I don't have access to the normal stuff I have at work or my mate Rodgers gaffe .... like, polishing machines, TIG/MIG Welders, curing ovens, bead blaster etc etc.. So I am having to go back to basics and hoping that this may help others who may be working from a shed with limited space and resources and budget.
Ian ..the grinder was pictured on a table in my house but I used it outside ;D
