Default Re: different grades of aluminum?

The tripoli wokrs great, mirror shine, but leaves a sort of 'grain' in the direction of buffing. I tried the white with a loose buff, it cleared up the grain, but also hazed everything over to that normal "i need to buff it again" look.

I redid the fender with the tripoli, one pass real quick to bring up the mirror again, and now trying hand-rubbing with mothers to clean up the grain.

I also did my moon oil tank, same thing there, clear anodize on the raw material had to be chemically stripped of to get the mirror shine.
