Howdy,

The easy way is to never, ever do something silly like polish AL.

The first time might not bug you too much, but I guarantee it'll bug you a few times in.... And you've got to keep on polishing it if you want it to look halfway good.

I don't know anyone that's ever polished something AL that would do it again.

Ditto. Never again. I've polished wheels, intakes, and valve covers and I've never been able to keep up with chemistry. As cast, as machined, as formed, or painted is the way I roll from now on.

Have fun keeping the Bling!
