Hey man, this gives us all wannabe polishers hope! Just wanted know at what rpm (revolutions per minute) your drill was working. I am working on my engine (jaguar E-type) and I thought I sanded pretty well, but the end result is very disappointing. Its a very hazy/misty finish with no brilliant shine. Assuming my sanding job was good enough I was wondering whether my drill was not turning fast enough. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks. Trevin

Very impressive. I’m sanding an entire motorcycle by hand and it’s taken too long (over two weeks). I should have used your methods instead. Well done.

This is Amazing ! I’m trying to rejuvenate my Motorbike’s headlight reflector by applying aluminum foil and buffing. This article helps me a lot ..

I was searching for aluminum polishing info and found this site. Great information. Does anyone know if it’s possible to chemically polish or electropolish aluminum castings?

Hej!

Undrar om du har synpunkter på klarlackering av polerade aluminiumbitar. Min motorcykel måste tyvärr stå ute året runt och jag ser att det far illa, men vill gärna se att det ser så snyggt ut som möjligt.

Vänliga hälsningar

Excellent article. The pictures tell a 1000 words.
I am at the moment restoring a 1982 BMW 735IA series E23 and have been looking for how to polish car bits on the internet. I chance to come across your article and now I know what to do.
Thanks a heap..
