Raptor's Port and Polish

Ok guys, I plan on doing a How-To when I get this all said and done, so this is just a follow-along thread.

Yesterday I did what I could by reoiling my K&N and also cleaning out the TB. Today I bought some rubbing compound and polishing compound, after the P&P so smooth things out some.

Also, I just got back from town. I went to AutoZone, Advanced, and even Lowes and none of them had the flap sanding wheels. So I'm looking online right now. The prices are all good (3-5 bucks) but most places are trying to charge me $15 for shipping....

Anywhos, I found a site, but lots of different sizes.... anyone care to take a look and offer an opinion? I know I need 3" wheels, but are those all bit sizes?

Also, I will be going with 60 & 180 grit, not the 120 as per Tally's write-up.
