I had some extra time today so I decided to do some quick polish work on my aluminum fenders. They are pretty beat up, but they still had some bling left in them.

What you will need:

1. Mothers Power Ball/Flitz
2. 3M Blue Painters Tape
3. Your choice of metal polish . . . I used mothers
4. Popsicle stick or knife to butter the polish on your pad.
5. Drill (I prefer electric)
6. Microfiber/Terry cotton towel to remove residue
7. Baking Soda
8. Window cleaner










Step one: clean the surface with window cleaner

Step two: mask off any delicate surfaces that the foam ball may come into contact with. Polish away........ work until product turns black, then buff away. If you have any trouble removing the product from the metal use some baking soda to dry the product for an easy buff-off.

:D Great! For the lips of most wheels and tighter areas, I would recommend using a mini powerball.

Don't forget step four!!!!

Step 4: Coat polished aluminum with Gord's or Zoop's aluminum sealer, so it stays polished and doesn't oxidize! Ever wonder what those Harley riders are using to keep their aluminum so high polished despite riding through all sorts of crud? This is the stuff.
