How to polish cast aluminum

rxnodoze02 · January 31st, 2008, 09:55 AM

Does anyone have any info on how to polish cast aluminum. What stages in sanding do i use as far as grit goes. Another question is what can i use that will be faster than sanding by hand is there a flexable sanding disc that someone can recomend. Thanks

Use 240 and up, up to 600. I use ruff, then fine grit buffing compound.
