[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490493, member: 1183"] Aluminum will oxidize naturally and you cant stop it!! By polishing you keep removing a tiney amount of the surface. A coat of cheap spray on wax will slow down this down a little. Unpainted aluminum is hard to keep looking good, on reason people paint it !! I have owned aluminum boats for over 55 years and have never found a good way to keep bare amuminum looking good....at best, sprayon car wax/polish seems to slow it down but still requires extra work. Once you get it all looking good, I supose a clear coat may help....but is it worth the trouble?? My current boat has a fully painted hull and is actually quite easy to keep clean and looking good [/QUOTE]
