Re: How-To: Polishing Aluminum

Re: How-To: Polishing Aluminum
Damn that's nice. I'm going to do that to stuff when I get to that stage. But I really don't' have anything to polish. Someone show strip the paint off their car and polish the whole thing. Mirror car... awesome!

Re: How-To: Polishing Aluminum
It would have to be a brand new car that had no flaws in the metal. Bodywork couldn't be done on it.

Re: How-To: Polishing Aluminum
Aluminum gets so corroded and shitty looking over time, so this is a good way to make aluminum look good i guess. I'd like to do my head, IM, waterpump, and alternator. But its just too much work.
