Cleaning and polishing aluminum
What's a quick easy inexpensive way to clean off my gunnels and some other
exposed aluminum on my Lund boat? Get a buffing wheel for my drill or grinder? Some grinding compound? Some chemical? Steve |

Steve BoeShield works pretty good(Boeing stuff) There's also... http://www.nevrdull.com/page3.html NEVR-DULL is some good stuff. Don't know about aluminum, but it polishes most anything else. |

Just like chrome - it's great but can't perform miracles! |

Steve Well, if you buy a can of Nevrdull and it doesn't work all that well on aluminum, it'll work on most other things, so you've not wasted your money. I've even used it on small scratches in the paint on my motorcycle, followed up with 'Finesse it' by 3M if necessary. |

It's cheap and works on a lot of other shiny things around the house, too. Takes a bit of elbow grease on tough spots. Got a teenage kid, or neighbor kid, willing to work for a few bucks an hour? |
