    On Emory and SS polishing compounds I still stay on the Spiral Sewn after that for the rest of the polishing compounds I use the 4 in Loose Cotton buffs...
    As you get used to the machine and your compounds you might choose other systems...

    The 4 inch gets me into where I want buffing spine to edge and keeps the surface speed down...

    My buffer runs at 2750 rpm and I run 4" wheels. I haven't had any problems managing it to date. I used to run sisal wheels for greaseless compound but I'm in the process of switching to cotton. I find that the compound sticks to cotton a lot better and I get a better result. Also, make sure your wheels have a sturdy leather centre to stop them expanding or you'll go through them very quickly.

    I've used denim wheels. They were pretty good but the ones I got didn't have the reinforced centre hole so they didn't last long.
