I tried polishing aluminum today, good results
I tried out the table mount buffer I got for 10 bucks, never even put a new wheel on it and test polished part of the aluminum air cleaner cover to my mercedes, I sanded it with 400 ( dry ) then 800 ( wet ) and then 1,000 ( wet also ), then I used 3M rubbing compound and it came out pretty good for first try. I'm working on polishing my Valve cover off my mercedes for my dad so he can have a nice polished valve cover for his cause he wants me too.Last edited by Matt167; 08-31-2004 at 05:54 PM.

I like that Matt, you go out and experiment and find out for yourself. And that is what almost 100% of rodding is all about."aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines"

Yeah, I'm polishing the MB cover now, taking a few days but I'll get it all. Streets, What rouge do I use for my 235 VC, a general white rouge or like a jewlers rouge? I have safty goggels and an apron but no safty shield but, I'm soon to get 1, I'v learn't that safty is first
. Me and my dad were talking about polishing the MB valve cover for about a year, and I picked up a homade buffer for 10 bucks, the wheel was still good so I bought it. I'd like to buff upp the chrome door sill plates for my car also, should work good for that also.

I read the first page and I guess white rouge is best, just gotta use clear gloss also so it don't tarnish.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Yeah, I know what it is, Would be in the hardware dept and in the paint isle in Wally WorldOriginally posted by Streets
It's a "Rattle Can" type sealer.. at Wally World and OTHER fine stores.. hehehe Bein' :sarcastic:. From my experience with COLOR- PLACE rattle can sealer, NEVER use it in an exterior application, Me and my dad put it on the old boat, last year or the year b4 last cause it made the paint look nicer ( was little faded ) and this year, I looked at and it's hayze where we sprayed it, looks like wax that was never buffed off kinda.

On a Aluminum boat? Are new boat is 'glass and on that 1 we used meguiars marine wax kit that fixed it up nice. Maby we didn't prepare the surface good enough though.Originally posted by Streets
Mebbe ya shoulda rubbed it out 1st with white polishin' compound, that get's rid of the "oxidation" on the paint surface on fiberglass boats!You don't know what you've got til it's gone
