Please help ive bought the caswallplating aluminum polishing and im seeing zero results.
The valve cover is raw cast aluminum. Its about 9 years old so it has some buildup on it. Ive basically removed all the old build up. Im using a snap on air pencil and a snap on die grinder with a 6 inch(or what ever comes in the kit not sure) sisal wheel with the black compound from the kit. Its a little brighter but nowhere near mirror like ive seen on here. It crazy, ive polished it about 3 hour so far. Light now slightly reflects off of it. Ive been mainly doing cutting direction. Not sure when your suppose to start brightening it. Tried it a litttle and it didnt do anything. Tried switching compounds to the brown/red compound and the cotton wheel. That just turned black almost instantly. Its hard enough to even get any of the compound off with the cotton wheel. Are you suppose to use water or something with the compound
?? Ive read tonnes butmost likely need to read more.
Excuse my ignorance, i read what came with the kit. Im going to use some brake cleaner on the valve cover to clean it up then start over again. I heard thats good to do to give you an idea where your at.
When do you switch compounds, from black to brown. When do you go from cutting to polishing with each compound. How the heck can i make this work?
thanks for any help,
Steven
