Often times, I come across a metal part or surface that used to be
shiny, but has acquired a bit of rust. After "rust removal" with a
wirebrush, there is no rust (duh), but the surface is dark colored

original reflective appearance.

My question is how can I restore it, is it as difficult as
restoration of virginity, or doable? Any polishing wheels that can
accomplish that? I would prefer something that can go on an angle
grinder.


I like these (top two items):
