Polishing question - Page 2

I have a few questions about polishing some of my engine parts to include the IMs, throttle body, IC pipes, ect.

What are some good tools to use for the sanding part instead of the usual wet/dry sandpaper and elbow grease. I've read to use die grinders but not sure if my air compressor is big enough to run one. They use a lot of air from what I've seen. How about electric die grinders are they worth it?

Also I have a bench grinder w/ the buffing wheels I will be using with the metal polish but is there some type of sanding wheel I could put on there?

Just trying to shorten the amount of time it takes to go through the sanding stages.

Thanks for any tips.
