Hi guys/gals. I’ve been watching and reading posts on this site for 2 years now. For some reason the site would never let me log in until now, even though I had a name and password. Anyways..down to brass tacks! haha.

I am planing on building a vibratory polisher next week for my shop. A lot of my customers are asking for ceramic coating. So..I ordered some chrome ceramic from PBTP and did a set of personal headers for practice. After I took them out of the oven, I went to sand them with 600 grit and then buff them out. NOPE. Not gonna even try that ****. Its for the birds. So I figured out how to build a vibratory polisher via the good ol’ internetz.

My question is this…where and what do I buy to put into the bowl (or 55 gallon drum I’m using as a bowl)? Does it have to be ceramic balls/cones? Can i use glass bead? I’m going to use this thing strictly for polishing chrome ceramic parts. Another thing is, I’ve noticed that people who have these machines put a polishing liquid mixed with whatever media they have in it. What kind of polishing agent should I buy?

Thanks in advance and please do help! I’m also stoked that I can finally log into this site to chime in on stuff and ask questions!!
