Hello All....For the final polish steps on cabs which works better Nova type wheels or Flex discs with polish pads? I currently finish with the UV-10, but sometimes I want to see the finished product quicker. Thanx all

I like using the wheels as opposed to the discs. I use sanding belts and for the final polish, a leather belt with diamond paste.

I use the flex wheels and really like them. What kind of stone are you polishing with them? MSJ

Too many zeros there muleshoe..... do you go out and hunt for your Montana agate or do you buy from someone?

If you are referring to the flex wheels sold by Kingsley North, I don't recommend them. They don't last very long as compared to the Nova wheels.
