Re: Polishing aluminum?

Steve,

Do you use regular sandpaper/emery cloth?

It is all by hand, except for the welds?

Also. Do you use any type of polishing compound?

Very interesting. I have tried to get this look. I have tried a wire wheel on my bench grinder, a polishing pad on my bench grinder but it is hard to get in the cast areas. I have tried rubbing compound with 3m pads. That worked well but I couldn’t get the real mirror shine.

I never thought of sandpaper.

Thanks. Alan.
