Ok, so I'm done with the paint of the race car trailer that I've been working on and all that remains is polishing the aluminum wheels and aluminum trim surrounding the trailer. Most of us are used to polishing only small portions of aluminum on most vehicles but what about aluminum of this much surface area? Oh and FYI, none of these are true "after" pictures. They're mostly before/during shots. I'm thinking I'll just take the Mother's Powerball Mini to the wheels but what about the surrounding aluminum trim? Should I just use some polishing pad and a lot of Autosol? :shead: Dang that reminds me, I'm going to have to order some more Autosol soon for the aluminum. I've got some time as I won't be touching the aluminum until after I'm done with my finals in two weeks. Please help! Thanks in advance, hehe. :giggle: Oh, and here's a 50/50 of the trailer for your visual pleasure. It's not the best photo but it's what I could make the best of with my Sony P&S.
How do you like autosol, I find i get better results with CG Metal Shine, and autosol smell is awful :gross: Amazing work with the trailer.
It works pretty well for me actually. I haven't tried CG Metal Shine. The Autosol smell takes some getting used to but it's not something that makes me want to throw up, LoL. Thanks for the compliment!
Use a wool pad and metal polish. This is what I used on my race car trailer and all the trailers painted at my friends custom paint shop. Also pick up some Megs #3, it works well on polished aluminum with a wool pad. Let me add that the wool pad is used on the rotary.
Yah wool Pad, and Metal polish works great. On tougher aluminum, I get aluminum Metal pads that are really course...takes no time to cut through it...just tedious..
