Great job! Even better was the quick and easy polishing. Waste no time. My work van has heavy oxidized aluminum wheels about 9 yrs old. Was contemplating replacing with new aluminum wheels. Much easier to replace however it will cost about 1k to replace. Will this method work on aluminum wheels!

What style buffer pad is this? I'm a Maritime Captain and our diamond deck plates are in serious need of TLC. We have wool polishing bonnets but they don't seem tough enough for the job we have ahead.

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing 14 күн бұрын

We use airway pads from goshineon.com. If your diamond plate is really rough start with the red buff and brown rouge. Then hit it with your wool bonnet with some time2shine aluminum polish. Then hit it with the orange buff and brown rouge. Then your wool bonnet and t2s aluminum polish again. Repeat the heavy steps as many times as necessary. Then switch to a white buff with green rouge to finish it up when it has a great shine.
