The brown bars are tripoli polishing compound and are typically used to remove 400 and 600 grit sand marks. The red bars are rouge and are for a high gloss finish of 6-10 microns.
You should not wear gloves around rotating equipment. If the wheel catches your glove, it can hurt you before you know what happened. Ask me how I know. I also recommend wet sanding when using the finer grits. It helps the sandpaper from gumming up and make it last longer. Otherwise, a great little video! I like your inexpensive and creative set up.
Of course I understand the not wearing gloves thing, but in my experience, nitrile gloves just rip apart. I've had plenty of times when something just snatches the glove off my hand harmlessly. Hell, they break if you look at them wrong. The wire wheel in particular just rips them up (annoyingly) and never snatches them. Though now I'm curious about your experience. I'll have to try wet sanding sometime :)

Cool thanks for the info.
Peace be upon you, my esteemed professor, your work is beautiful and rich, may God bless you and may God expand your livelihood.
I'm just glad this wasn't My Mechanics. He'd have made a new one lol.
lol yeah he would. If a part is salvageable, and it's not significantly more work to restore it, I go for it. Plus I don't have a lathe lol
You need to make more videos
