#1
does anyone have any idea. do i buy a **** load of polishing buffers for my dremel and spend the day doing it. 1000 grit sand paper? i don't know. so who ever does, please step in. i want to hook up my grill i got from creedarado. btw, it looks like it matches the factory grill in the pic but in real life, it looks satin or something.

I use steel wool on my dirtbikes frame, you can get it from oxidized black to mirror finish, Start with course and move to fine, I use wd-40 to lube it all up. And polish in straght, parellel strokes, not circles. See if that works, aluminums aluminum right?

Use a polishing rouge, its in stick form and can be bought at Semi-truck supply stores. They also sell rag wheels and buffing wheels for polishing, remember those semi guys are always polishing all the aluminum on their rigs.
