Started with washing with soap and water then sprayed oven cleaner with sodium hydroxide in it let sit for 15 min washed off then done it one more time.started wet sanding with 320 /600/1000/2000 then hand polished with mothers until it shined and polished some more .this took me about 14 hours in all

What do you plan to do to preserve the shine. The aluminum will dull and corrode won't it?

boat · 10-18-2012, 11:50 AM

Haven't found any info on keeping the shine on it besides a little wax every now and then

Thanks for the direction Woogeroo, I will certainly make the time to look at those vids now that I have his page saved to my faves folder.

As far as any of my vidoes go, they are better suited for Saturday mornings between cartoons...

None the less, I have them all hyper linked on page 1 of my build if anyone wants to scope them out.
