I've never seen an engine like yours. Reminds me of the Borg Ship on Star Trek:

found a little leak in my inner seal of one of the wheel hubs. So new Bearing Buddys and complete bearing kits were ordered and will go in tomorrow night.

Use 67 then 45 then the flagship premium. And you will get this finish. I use a DA variable professional 6" polisher. 3 step pads. Seperate terry rags for blue and white gel for each material step. Aka 6 different rags.

How long do you think it would take to install bearing buddys?

Good work on the wax/polish, nice and shiny!

Without rebuilding the hubs... About 10 minutes. You simply use the rubber hammer to knock the old caps off. Then you bang the new ones on.

Rebuilding the hubs..... Took me about 45 minutes start to finish, and that was pulling out the jack and tools, rebuild, cleanup. It is a very simple and straight forward task. ****NOTE that you may need to sand the rim of the earring buddy to get it to mate with the hub. One of mine was a thousandth too large so I hit it with 1,200 grit on the big belt sander to take a little f the machining off and she hammered into the hub nice and snug.
