Exactly what I wanted to know. I'm just polishing up an old aluminum shifter for my car and needed some reference. You did it concisely and to the point (didn't take 20 minutes just to talk about what you were going to do in the video lol). Idk if this is weird, but you also have a comforting voice lol. Thanks.

EXCELLENT video! I use a mirror for welding the top of exhaust tubing and I get 1 or 2 uses out of a glass mirror at the most. So I thought I might have better luck with aluminum but didn't know if I could get it to a mirror shine or not. This confirms it! Thanks for the demonstration. Now I'm gonna go make my mirror which will be a lot easier to refurbish back to a mirror shine after it gets hit with slag than a piece of mirror glass that just ends up pitted and useless.

Thanks so much. Method 2 beats the dog out of your first video. I guess that's because of the aluminicut? Seems like it is half the work. I am going to look at an aluminum flatbed for my one ton Monday and from the pics I think it is the aluminum that has not been shined at all (kinda like old galvanized tin ). It isn't bad like it is but I had picked out a diamond plate one that I was trying to wipe my brain around the $4500 and the 800 mile haul and the other essentials for mounting. The bed I have found is 850 cash and 260 mls pickup and haul. It is an 8 foot 8 by 8 foot bed. Your video has got me primed and stoked. I just hope that it is still there . You never know about craigslist. Anyway. Thanks for the great work. Reggie

Any thoughts on what speed you'd want with a variable speed random orbital polisher? Too fast leaves burns up the alumicut and causes it to goo up, so slow and not enough cutting power? Great video!
