[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 280620, member: 774"] The powerball in a drill just doesn't have the rpm to knock the surface crud off the aluminum unless you spend lots of time. Wet sand then polish. If you don't clear coat, give it a good wax afterwords. Anything with degreaser will knock the shine right off when your washing. The black residue is polish/oxidation stuck in the poors of the metal. The smoother the surface the easyer it will come off, but it still takes a lot of elbo grease. Goodluck, post some pictures when its done [/QUOTE]
