My SU suction chambers (dashpot covers) are dull. I don't want to get chromed ones, they are too bright. I just want the aluminum to be brighter. What is the best polish to use. I have Simichrome aro

I know this will sound strange, but I have heard that oven cleaner works well on this. I haven't tried it myself yet. Some people in my club have used it and have had very good results. You might tr

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
