Re: [SilverStreak] POLISHING



Ros,

 You are a brave soul to take on such a chore, I have maintained the polishing
of wheels and fuel tanks on an 18 wheeler in the past and know that it is a
lot of work.

As far as compounds, use the brown Rouge to cut the anodized finish, then the
green Rouge to bring up the shine and finally use the white Rouge to polish to
a mirror finish.

>From there use a good polish such as Tom has recommended to protect the
finish. It should last at least a few months depending on exposure to
elements. Smog is a real killer to polished metal, as is salt. You should be
ok in Houston though, as you are far enough away from the coast not to get the
salt air.

An air or electric polisher would be recommended for such a large area to
polish. By hand it would be a tremendous undertaking.

Good luck.
