Taking Care of my new Aluminum Wonder
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2016 2:22 pm
Part 1: Removing Oxidation
Stored incorrectly, some of the sheet aluminum got some white oxidation crap on it, and could use some opinions on the best method for buffing it out. So far the compounds I have purchased at the local auto store is making minimal impact.
I've been told about 3M pads on an air motor -- or an orbital sander?
Would love to hear other people's successes with this. Will I get swirl marks?
Part 2: Deterring future Oxidation!
Teardrop has been stored a whole week outside, was rained on once, and it seems like mini waterspots and start of oxidation everywhere. I am a real newbie here and would love advice on washing her, and once buffed, what kind of wax or coating should I use??
Thank you for your suggestions!
