There's a few guides on edition38 and wheel whores. With mine I started with nitromors, then 240 paper, and kept moving through grades right up to 1500, then 2k, then 3k, then started with the polishing compounds, which I had bought as a rush in a set from Halfords, cost about 20 quid. Then finished off with mothers mag polish and then poorboys wheel sealent, will upload a pic later, Sam
