My buddy Will told me his method of Sanding and hand polishing but I was thinking of just using a Bench Grinder with a buffing pad and the correct wax stick? Since I am a newbie at this I don't want to ruin the metal so any though would help. The metal is a little discolored and am not sure if the bench grinder will take out all the scratches and make the metal shiny like new

Sam, You can get out scratches and stains with a bench grinder. I would recommend you read the Buffing Guide at Caswellplating.com before you dive into it. It's a pretty good guide to buffing. They also sell buffing supplies if you need them. Chad Cunningham | ||

 I think this is what you're looking for. When you're buffing, be sure and wear plenty of protection, especially eye protection. A casting can catch the edge of the wheel and fly right out of your hand at a high rate of speed!!! I've never bought anything from them, but this article is very helpful. I've always used polish that Kirby sells to its distributors. However, I'm sure this company has something comparable. CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekastar's LINK | ||
