What is the best way to polish uncoated aluminium?



I have bought a can of Eagle One Never-Dull Wadding Polish.

Is it any good?

The Eagle1 wadding you bought does work well, but it`s primarily for removing oxidation (if that`s the right word) that tends to show up over time once the aluminum has been polished with a buffing wheel on your drill, and a rouge of some sort. Take a look at this site (http://www.superstallions.com/tech/carcare/polish.html ) and you`ll be amazed at the results. I followed his instructions for my uncoated polished aluminum wheels and was amazed when I was finished. :cool:

I have used both Eagle One Nevr-Dull and Mothers Aluminum Polish...



I would rate the Nevr-Dull a 6 out of 10 and the Mothers a 9.



With the Mothers I can make my polished aluminum intake look like chrome. Takes some elbow-grease and buffing, but it`s worth it......



Works great. This intake was very dull (looked almost satin) when I purchased it.

Here`s a pic:
