hi, just some informations.
the grain size of the flap disc is about 240.
Here the drive kit that I use with an électric engine ( 1500watts)
disc (resized).jpgdisc (resized).jpg

if you not have the flap disc, you can use sand paper 240/ 400.

to clean the coin door, it's not easy, you mustn't use the flap disc.
it's better to used water sand paper about 400/600 before polishing.
it's the same for the siderails, but be careful with them, it's a little dangerous.
be careful that clothing is well bonded to the body.
roll up our sleeves, pay attention to hair as that can be caught in the machine.
and of course mask and goggles and gloves.
to clean this part.=>

i just use the polishing disc and then, i clean it with scouring cream and big nail brush under water tap to remove the black paste that remains in the ribs, the result is amazing
