Check the Eastwood catalog or perhaps their website. A buffing wheel is perhaps 6 or 8 inches in diameter, maybe 1/2 to 1 inch wide, and composed of many layers of cottom stitched together. You rotate it a a high speed and apply jeweler's rouge which is an extremely mild abrasive. This is pretty much the standard technique for polishing a wide variety of materials to extremely smooth surfaces and is what a commercial refinisher of stainless steel trim would use, though in a truly professional environment the user would have a variety of grades of abrasive and work his way towards the finest.

Check out Eastwood - they specialize in supplying these materials to the amateur.
