Does anyone have the info of a supplier of these? I think this is what Micky used to polish the aluminum on his greenie restore but I have having a hard time sourcing them.

IIRC, he used cotton 'wheels' with varying abrasive to polish.

I have used brass wire wheels to clean things up(more gentle than steel).

There are different stiffness to steel wire wheels. I prefer the finer ones.

I think copper would be too ductile to be effective.

I used a sanding flapper wheel to smooth the rough castings on a couple of handles, then Polished them with a cotton buffing wheel
