Brand Newbie Aluminum Polishing Question

[gdsegel]

Hi all,

Thanks to Caswell for this forum as I have been looking for somewhere I can find some good information and help with polishing aluminum.

My question is this:

I have some aluminum parts I need to polish to a more mirrored look. An example is provided in this link:

The shaft I will be polishing is the same as this shaft, but slightly more matte in finish than the pictured shaft (but not much). I have a Dremel that I will use for polishing (as the part is only about 2" long).

My question is what type of polish(es) should I use and in what order?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer,


Gregg
