I am in the process of increasing my production from 5 gallons to 10. I have acquired some decommissioned kegs from a local keg management company and am now starting to clean and polish them. I decided to go the gator grit route for sanding since it seems to be the most popular. Thanks Bobby M. for the awesome information on your site. For the final polishing I went with a sisal wheel on my dewalt buffer because I could not find the gator grit polishing pad locally. I bought the gator grit pads and compound at lowes. The sisal wheel came from harbor freight tools. I wished I went there first. They had there own version of gator grit pads for a 4 1/2" grinder. Anyways, here is a picture of where I am at right now.
The lower portion of the keg has been hit with the gator grit fine pad and the upper portion has been buffed with #2 compound and the sisal pad. Here is the buffer setup.
The pad on the buffer was made for a bench grinder but I was able to attach it to the buffer with a 5/8-11 nut and the washers that came with it. I
