any ideas?

Just wondering how they get aluminium polished up so it shines like chrome. Do they use a polishing machine spinning disc thingy? or is there some other weird process involved?

I have my aluminium roll bar that use to be polished but has lost the shine, i've tried to polish it by hand ages ago but didn't quite get the chrome shine.

I think it'd sell better if it was nice and shiney :)

Autosol and cheesecloth 1st round to get it smooth

then that cotton wool stuff that comes in a tin to pull of the autosol residue

if its very scratchy and stuff you may need to fix it up with some wet and dry but I wouldnt bother

for $150 its not worth wasting half a day on it
