Re: help for a new polishing addict
89notchback,
First off if your aluminum is smooth, it other words if you can't catch a fingernail on a scratch then start your polishing with your ventilated buff with Emory. No need to sand. If you have scratches start with the finest sandpaper that will take the scratches out! After you have got the shine that you want take some Mothers mag wheel polish and hand polish the piece. See if that won't take the fine scratches out!
The longer you sand a piece of aluminum the quicker that you will get through the top layer and you may expose imperfections that will require additional work and may not come out.
