  • Aluminum Polish

    I have tried Mothers, Blue magic, Never Dull and don't really like any of them.
    I bought some polishing disks and jewlers rouge and been having fare luck with it.
    BUT. Someone gave me a bottle of American Racing Mag polish. This stuffis the best i have seen. It takes little elbow grease and the results make mothers take a back seat.
    The omly problem is He doesn't remember where He got it and i'm having trouble finding it?
    If any of you guys see it , try it. You shouldn't be disappionted!
    I'm trying to find a can of spring or summer but that is hard to find.
    Anyone see any signs yet?

      I'm working on my carb bodies at the moment. Those little nooks and crannys are the hard part. I've been using mothers to try to polish them up and using a 1/8" dremel with polishing pads. For the little nooks and crannys I got some Q-tips with the plastic shaft, cut off the heads, and screwed the Q-tip heads to the dremel buffer pad shaft. It does a good job of buffing up those tight spots and it's cheap. How many q-tips can you buy for a buck or 2...LOL.

      However, it's not solving my bigest problem. Mothers is great but does little for those dark spots. I've ran across this product line and was wondering if anyone out there has tried it?

      If so, what where the results? Did it take out the dark spots on aluminum like they say it will?

      One thing that I did find there was this Vibratory Polisher for 70 bucks.

      Could I use this on my carb bodies or would it mess up the threads (or anything else)?

        I used Mothers Bilet polish. I have had geat luck with it. The thing that has helped the most is fine wet sand paper. I used soapy water and 1500 to 2000 wet sandpaper on the entire surface of what I am working on and then the mothers bilet polish. Used my dremel drill and a small polishing end for my carbs and not much sand paper. Just lots of work! Looks like chrome when it's done.
