[QUOTE="user 213, post: 440910, member: 213"] Whoa there DD, power tools and Roloc discs are too much. Elbow grease has it's rewards here. I have access to those Roloc discs too. If you gotta, stick with the medium. [B] DO NOT[/B] use the hard. They really will do more polishing than needed with a die grinder or drill. You want a somewhat coarse finish here in the end to help cut the pads when you start out again. You won't need to re-bed or anything like that, but it will help if there is some surface roughness instead of a polished finish. Worth noting also is that the discs on a die grinder will develop some heat to the rotor that you really don't want if you over do it. [/QUOTE]
