Best bet is use aluminum wool. Never use steel wool on aluminum, if you were thinking of it. It may make it shine really bright, but it leaves bits of steel in the surface and they will corrode later, and I don't think any finish you can apply to allow the shine to show will protect against the corrosion that will follow, unless you wax very regularly....

Front forks and other aluminum parts are a little corroded, looking to polish them up a bit. I have used a dremel to polish items in the past and it has worked well. I tried some neverdull earlier today and it didn't leave me with the results I wanted. My question really is whether or not using a power tool to polish will take off any protective coating or anything on the aluminum and leave me worse off than I already am. Any ideas guys? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
