I'm not a master polisher, just a student of it and here's the process I use to stay shined up through the winter months of the Midwest!
The BEST way to get shine out of your aluminum is to keep it on a regular polishing maintenance routine. Like most things in life, there's many ways to reach a destination; some better than others. Here's the process I use and maybe you choose different methods or products; that's TOTALLY cool! Use what works for you. If we all try helping one another, we can all improve our skills and efficiency instead of tearing each other down & giving the industry(s) a bad name.
Do I make mistakes & can I improve? Absolutely!! So come learn with me as I grow. I'll share things I've learned from experience or from other professional polishers.
I want to HIGHLY recommend going to watch ‪@EvanStegerMetalPolishing‬ how-to polishing videos. Not only has he taught me a lot about metal polishing, his family-owned small business in Wisconsin goshineon.com sells THE BEST materials I've ever used. His shop Evan's Detailing and Polishing not only keeps their customer's trucks shined up, but offers training courses for polishing for those of us who want to up their game or start their own polishing businesses.

I use the Makita ga 7021 6000rpm grinder and the Makita 9927c 3500 variable speed grinder
my palm sander is a 25 year old Porter Cable.
All my sandpaper, buffs, rouge, and hand polish is Time2Shine Products available at goshineon.com
Wear your mask, eye, and hearing protection!
