[QUOTE="spotco2, post: 280854, member: 6117"] Check out https://www.caswellplating.com/ for some polishing tips and ideas for protecting the finish after you are finished. We have a company here that does plating and polishing and they use Blue Magic as a sealer on everything they polish and they apply it with toilet paper. It does leave a protective coating on the surface that keeps the aluminum from oxidizing quickly. https://bluemagicusa.com/index.php/blue_magic/products/210/blue_magic_metal_polish_cream_jar/ I got into polishing several years ago working on an old hot rod and learned quickly that the fastest way to polish anything was to sand it smooth, then start with a harsh rouge with the correct wheel, clean and start working with softer rouges and different types of wheels until you get your mirror finish. I used Simple Green and water to remove the black crap and always polished out the final product with talc and toilet paper. I pulled several pieces out of the junkyard and made them look new again. Zoop seal is a good clear protectant as well as VHT. POR15 makes an awesome 2 part epoxy clear called Glisten PC if you're into the epoxy thing. [/QUOTE]
