Abstract: A system (10) for polishing a wheel (W) includes a spindle (29) to carry the wheel (W). A motor (31) rotates the spindle (29) to rotate the wheel (W). A cut/buff polishing wheel (42) receives an abrasive compound on its periphery from a spray gun (44) and is positioned so as to sequentially operate upon various portions of the wheel (W). A color/buff polishing wheel (43) receives a polishing compound from a dispenser (46) and applies it to the wheel (W) upon sequentially operating on various portions of the wheel (W). A plurality of systems (10) may be provided in a chamber (11) which has an evacuation housing (21) positioned adjacent thereto to evacuate debris resulting from the polishing of the wheels (W).
