List,
I am writing since reading Sujit Roy's request for anyone who has used micro
polishing services to restore aluminum parts. Sorry for muddying the waters
Sujit, but here is my .02.
I have been trying to find a process or company that can restore the
original, kind of "flecked" aluminum texture that you see on new cast
aluminum parts. I hope I am explaining this well enough to get the point
across. There are several ways to clean and polish aluminum but what I would
like to find is a process that restores the surface to it's original look,
not polish it to look like chrome. The parts I am most interested in
restoring are my carbs but I am sure there are other parts that need the
same attention.
I considered looking into some kind of light etching process but got side
tracked with other chores.
Anyway, if anyone has come across something, let me know.
OK, back to my stupid deck drawings~! Wait until I find out who called the
building inspector!
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
