Thanks!

I am 99.99% sure there is no problem w/ the balance. We are talking "HAIRS" of material taken off...nothing to worry about...

lol, I wonder why some people think that...

I used 3M Rubbing Compound, Tripoli, White Rouge, Swirl Remover, and Aluminum Polish...The Tripoli and Rouge didn't have that much affect on it, but they did help w/ the little corners, etc...
Used a Buffer on 1750, and a 2700rpm drill w/ a wheel for the ends.
