Polishing Aluminum

THis is the pink cotton candy/insulation looking stuff that I have used. It looks the same as X-treem:

Bruce,

Would you recommend this or their "Metal Renew" for a larger area of oxidized aluminum.......12" X 18" overall surface area??

Yeeep, having only used the cotton candy stuff from Wizard, I would absolutely consider using it on something that large I cant comment on the "metal renew"...

Assuming that this stuff from Wizard (the pink cotton candy stuff) is essentially the same as x-treem I would go with what SharpShooter is suggesting... He has miles of aluminum to polish and his stuff looks great... See his post #22

I liked the wizard stuff because it seemed to work so easy (less elbow grease and not so messy)...

S.S. has way more experience in this area...

I wanted to polish up the spinner on the airplane which can not be modified legally (eg. chromed) but can certainly be polished. It stays in the hangar so not a lot of exposure to the elements but over a 20 year period of not being polished it is in need of a serious restoration.

I'm just wondering if the first time I should just take it off and bring it to a polisher and then just maintain monthly with something like one of the products above.....what do you guys think?

nothing ventured nothing gained... try the pink cotton candy stuff and see what u think, that is if you can afford the $15 price tag... You wont end up looking like The Doctors son if you go this route, I can't even tell if that was Buzz or Paul in the picture...


my 2cents...
