Aluminum revitalizing
The aluminum on my Lund is kind of pale. What do I use to clean it up
without using a lot of elbow grease? I have high speed grinders, but I don't think they come with a buffer wheel, and I am not sure if I can rheostat them down in RPMs. I do have drills that I can get a buffer wheel for. Steve |

Steve You can use Shark Hide if you want a really shined boat, but the dull is the oxide that forms to protect the aluminim. |

I was wondering if I DID take the time to shine it up if I would have to clear coat it, or then take time consuming measures after that to keep it looking nice. Steve |
