Title: Polish Post by: FC_NUT on February 07, 2014, 11:52:16 PM Hi guys,
Could any one offer some suggestion on a good aluminium polish to bring back some weathered alloy five slots I want to put on my FC, The wheels are a bit weathered but I gave one a quick going over and it came up ok. I'm looking for something a bit heavy duty.

Start with 180 and work down to around 600 then you could use a wool buff pad and your cutting compounds . Haydn
