[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 448209, member: 22139"] I hand sanded using scotchbrite and vinegar. The vinegar really helps clean the aluminum and it came up fairly quickly. I have to tell you though, I put a few hours into scrubbing up and brightening the bottom of my boat. After the first season it dulled quite a bit. Aluminum oxidizes quickly and sanding, cleaning etc will remove the protective oxidized layer so unless you polish it or clear coat it, it will return to oxidized fairly quickly.
