Over spring break last week I spent quite a bit of time polishing aluminum rims, tanks, battery boxes etc on our fleet of Peterbilts.
I managed to get a couple of pictures of a before and after.
With the hub and nut covers off.
after one pass with a blue aluminum polishing wheel on porter cable rotary and brown jewler`s rouge.
some after shots
They didn`t get the best job that i can do because
1.they weren`t taken off the truck which makes it more difficult work some areas.
2. In MN we still aren`t done with winter and road salt does a number on highly polished alum. - they will need a touch up before summer.
I would say my knowlege and ability in metal polishing is greater than my paint buffing abilities, so if you have any questions, just ask and i`ll do my best.
I forgot to get a pic of my polisher and setup. Maybe next time.
