    Noel, I'm curious about your plea to not use gloves at the buffer. 
    Did you have an accident?  I can certainly see not using
    latex/synthetic type gloves, as they would stretch if pulled, and
    could possibly "vulcanize" to your skin from the heat of the buffer
    wheel. 

    Loose clothing, hair, jewelry (being worn), and yes, loose gloves
    don't belong near rotating equipment.  That is basic shop safety.  
    However, I nearly always use tight fitting grain leather gloves when
    i polish anything large enough for me to hold.   I should also say
    that i'm using a buffing wheel, and not a "mop". 

    What do some of you more experienced people think about this? 

    Steve In Oklahoma, where i'm putting on my helmet, glasses, gloves,
    and shoes for one last summer weather bicycle ride!
