3" sanding, 3" scotchbrite, 2" scotchbrite.... and 1.5" scotchbrite. You'd be amazed at how tight a spot you can get into with a 1.5" disc on a 90deg die grinder.....to the Roloc discs but unfortunately, you can't access all parts of the rims with them....
I've been gluing scotchbrite sections onto rods for years for honing purposes (fairly effective, but frustrating) , and never thought of notching a rod like you have.....and yet another useful tool for corrosion removal/polishing in tight places.

Notch a 1/4" steel rod (or bolt) and chuck it up in a die grinder. It will get into very tight spots. I use red pads for corrosion removal and green and white ones for polishing. Replace the scotchbrite with cotton cloth and rubbing compound for final polish. Also makes an excellent multi-sized cylinder hone.
Well that explains why it looks so good....I love this VHT paint. Builds nice, almost like a gloss powder coat.....
