Polishing Bonnet
Polishing bonnets are cloth disks with an elasticated band which can be placed over the foot or plate of a machine polisher.
There were typically several kinds, some kind of muslin cloth for applying polish/wax, towelling for removing polish/wax, or lambs wool for polishing.
They are a rather old-fashioned way of going about polishing in relation to cars and are not used much professionally now, although they are still used on retail polishers with more modern materials such as microfibre.
