- Oven cleaner is caustic, which, as someone recently pointed out (in connection with carbon removal), eats aluminum. Used sparingly, it should be great for polishing aluminum, but I wouldn't get it ne

- Follow the advice you've already seen to polish (on a wheel)... You will EASILY get a chrome quality... To my taste... I find the chrome-look to be over-powering.... but, believe me... in a few month

- That depends on the operator, and the tool. I have a mandrel that I can put on my wood lathe to hold buffing wheels. Being a lathe, it's variable speed, so I can set it to go real slow. I usually hav
