Hit it with that until your newly-fixed wing threatens to fall off, then go back to the soupy Turtle Chrome goo. :lol:

Ok, im working on a custom aluminum chaingurad for my drag bike and Im after the mirror finish:evil: so far I have wet sanded with the following grits of sandpaper: 180, 400, 800, 1500, 2000 Its looking good, but Im now out of my field of knowledge. I know i need to use some sort of polishing compound, maybe 2?:S to finish the job. I have some "turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover" that is slowly working to get the mirror shine to a small part of it, but it seems like its not working very fast or effectivly. am I using the right stuff? will this stuff work like i think it should if i get one of those polishing balls that you can fit on a drill? (i assume they are designed with wheels in mind)
thx!
Scott - For the final polishing you need that old Canadian stand-by....Auto-Sol.
I have tried every type of polish and nothing delivers the final finish like Auto-Sol. I rub it in by hand until the cream turns black then I hit it with a lamb's wool polishing pad. Your aluminum will shine like chrome.
