want to polish stuff, what to use
A buffing wheel on a bench grinder, super messy like ODP said. It will give you the best finish though. Also do a search for "Mothers Power Ball," it was a recent thread. That thing will put a nice finish on pieces that have already been polished and are just dull.

The mother polish ball works great on polished parts that are dull. It will buff it to a nice shine.
I don't think the mothers polish ball was designed to make bare aluminum parts into polished aluminum. If you have rust or heavy pitting, I just don't see the polish ball working to well.
Polishing metal is alot like sanding wood. You need to start out with a course grit to get the deep scratches out, then work you way up to finer grit making sure not to skip wide ranges of grits. While I am not suggesting starting out with 80 grit sand paper, it may be necessary to wet sand or steel wool at first then work your way through the different grits of polishing compounds.
