[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 443027, member: 19781"] Making aluminum "shiny" is probably more work than you want to do. Cotton wheels and rouge and endless hours of work. What I've found is that when I've tried, it never comes out as good as I was hoping. Every blemish, dent and scar shows up like a neon light. What I've found is that a brushed finish is more than good enough to make a boat look great.. and it's very easy to maintain. It hides blemishes.... doesn't blind you when the sun is overhead... and is simply much easier to accomplish... Get the paint stripped off with a chemical stripper and then just go over it with one of these wheels... you'll be surprised how easily it makes tired aluminum look good... https://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=31821656 [/QUOTE]
