I gave a couple cornies a quick shot with the #2 disc just to clean them up. It's nice to drag around a couple clean kegs for parties, etc. Thanks for the idea Bobby!
I promise it's not that hard to do... only on your back. I still haven't done the other two kegs because if I have a spare few hours I'm renovating my kitchen or actually brewing.
I just put the keg on a work cart to keep the base at waist height. If you are using the gator grit pads, make sure you get the backing pad for the angle grinder. It's well worth the 13 dollars and you'll get way more life from each pad. Also, make sure you are using the correct side of the finishing pad. If you are getting glue onto the keg, try flipping the pad over...

Glue coming off the polishing pad is probably more from applying too much angle where the edge of the pad is hitting the stainless. You also need to let the pad cool after every 10 minutes or so of hardcore polishing.
Agreed, fortunately my hands start to hurt after about 10 minutes so I take a break with my polishing pad. As for the pads them selves, one side looks "grittier" than the other. It's helpful to try each side of the pad to figure out what you need to do... I have found that if I use a light touch with the red pad, I can use less of the blue pads per keg.
