Re: 63 rebuild

Wow looks brand new! May I ask how does the process go( sand first with three grits then polish?) and what grit paper do you use??or tips on doing it....

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?
