has anyone used sand flap wheels to polish heads???

i saw these lil sand paper flap wheel things at napa and was wondering if 80 grit would do it easier than the lil drums.

carbide cutting tips ordered, ordered 5 of the sand flapper thinggies just in case, they were a buck a piece, 1 inch in diameter.

yea i was planning on using the carbide tips to clean up the valve guides and gasket match, the just polish everything.....will i need to use the carbide tips to smooth out the combustion chamber/intake/exhaust ports. or can i just use the flaps.
