Advice on buffing and polishing attachments

I have decided to polish the front fork tubes on my KZ since the clear is yellowed and needs to come off. I am feeling lazy and don't want to polish them by hand so I went down to the hardware store and looked at their selection of buffing and polishing attachments. There were quite a few choices and I was unsure what to get. Though I like the store, I don't trust them to give me good advice. So KZ members, what sort of attachments should I get? I have an orbital buffer and a high speed drill. For a different project, I am looking to strip some paint off stainless steel and polishing that as well.
Thanks.

Check this link for the easiest way I've found to do it.

Thanks for the link. Nice work; I am inspired. I am still feeling lazy though.

I know the feeling, it has been raining here all morning and other than sitting here typing on the computer and drinking a few beers I haven't done much. Since I read your post I'm thinking it might be a good thing to go out to the front porch and remove and polish up a set of forks on an 81 750 LTD that I have parked there. :pinch: :pinch:

It has been raining here for 3 days now and I think idle hands will work on motorcycles, or something like that. I actually rode to work today (alas, I can type but no beers:pinch: ) and the overcast sky really highlights the yellow clear on the forks. When it is sunny, it is a lot less noticable. Good luck with your forks. I am thinking about taking pictures of before and after when I get around to it.
