[QUOTE="rickta24, post: 406715, member: 20348"] So I have finished wire wheeling the entire exterior of the boat. There were quite a few areas of surface corrosion. A good amount of the spots I was able to get down to clean aluminum, but there are still quite a few large areas where there are small pits from where corrosion was. It took me a few weeks to wire wheel the exterior so I know I will have to go back and lightly sand the boat to get the oxidization off. I've noticed in these little pits that it has turned slightly white after being grinded down and sitting for a few days. Is that just the aluminum oxidizing? Do I need to grind down all of theses pits until the aluminum is smooth? [ATTACH type="full" alt="bowcorrosion.jpg"]82331._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
