Vicky,

    I would suggest 3M Radial Discs. They are available in a variety of
    sizes and grits. The smaller ones can be used with your flex shaft or
    similar tools. The larger ones can be used with a typical polishing
    motor. Starting with the coarser grits you can work your way up to a
    high polish. No polishing compound is used with these discs. They are
    a great addition to our arsenal of polishing equipment.
