Polishing question

OK, couldn't find this anywhere.

How many buffing wheels (BW) do I need to buy?

Obviously each compound needs to be a dedicated BW, but will one BW do all 4 rims? (per compound)

If you are using just one per wheel you will want a buff rake where you can knock the old off the wheel. especially if you use the smoothing kits with the 80/220/320 grinding compounds, the tripoli and white rouge pretty much leaves the bw when you are using it.
