[VAC] polishing boo-boo: HELP!
Hello Folks,
I was having a great time polishing my trailer when I noticed that after the
first application of Rolite pre-polish, the skin looked a little dull
compared to the other side, which I had just finished. Then I noticed that
-- EGAD -- the new cleaner I had just bought to wipe away polish residue
("Pro Formula" 409 Degreaser/Cleaner) said "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ALUMINUM." I
can't believe I didn't see this on the label, but there you have it.
My question is, what to do now? The skin is kinda cloudy. Can it be
polished out? If so, I think I might need a polish with a little more grit
that the Rolite, to get the cloudiness off. Will it look better if I just
leave it alone, and let the skin "breathe" for a while? I'm stuck! I hope
my mistake can be rectified. Please let me know!
Thanks,
Jon Amores #2671
