Re: Cleaning/protecting billet pulleys and brackets

Welcome to the land of aluminum and all of the great things that happens when you touch it.

I use a set of 3" small razor buffs on a die grinder and using the stick polishing compounds to get aluminum to a shiney condition. Once there, I use Mothers aluminum polish to get any dirt or larger scratches out of the metal to start and then follow up with the Mothers "Billet" polish to give a mirror finish. I then seal my aluminum with a metal sealant that impedes corrosion and dirt getting into the pores of the metal. There are numerous brands out there, but I use one from a company called "Wizards". I have been running billet aluminum pulleys, water tanks, and an aluminum radiator for years, not to mention Billet specialties wheels on my trucks for quite some time.
