Welcome to the english page of the Aluminum Polishing guide, this is were you wont have to read in swedish =) ..i will show you in a simple way how to make aluminum and other metalparts shine. I am an amateur at this and the guide is intended for nonprofessionals who would like to make their turbo, IC-pipes valvecovers and other engineparts have an amazing mirrorlook. I made this guide during the winter 2005 when i was rebuilding my toyota Supra 7MGTE 3.0i turbo engine, and now i made it into a separate website.

Aluminum polishing guide Learn how to make aluminum shine like a mirror!

I get lots of questions about how to keep the polished part shiny. The environment surrounding the engine will sooner or later make the polished aluminum to oxidate and get dirty. I can only give advice from my own experience and i have chosen to not paint my parts with clear coat. The reason is that a shiny surface is real easy to clean, think about it.

Say that you would by accident pour panit on a mirror and a piece of concrete, of course the mirror allows the least grip and will be much easier to clean! Once aluminum i shiny it will be quite easy keeping it that way. Using products like Autosol or Meguiars "All metal polysh" and a towel, it does not take that much time to keep your parts shiny. If you do it often it will be easy! To preserve your part then use an ordinary wax i.e. Sonax liquid hardwax or any product like that.
