Polishing Aluminum

[WESTERNAERO]

I'm just repolishing the engine stuff. My days of polishing from cast or machined are over, that stuff gets sent out.

Could be, it has been a while since I used it but as I recall I buffed with it just lightly, then wait, then buff it to a shine after the compound in the stuff dries a bit??? Can't recall the process for sure but it worked fantastico... BUT it's kind of expensive as I recall...

Yep! I did a side by side comparison of mothers billet, X-treem and the pink Metal wax. Metal wax looked the best imo.

Yeah I figured as much. That's all I do is touch up.

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

I used all of the different products on my harleys "back in the day" but I never used ANYTHING that worked like this pink cotton candy stuff. I was amazed...

The truckers used to have a trick that involved diesel when cleaning their fuel tanks. I don't remember what it was, but it was a quick polish deal. I'll have to search my memory banks lol

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...
