[QUOTE="Dillehay, post: 480419, member: 727"] I need some help on this damn aluminum gas tank. Don't want to paint, afraid the "RACE GAS" will take it off. ;D. Next step will be to powder coat (could get expensive). What I want to do is polish it. Here is what I've done so far 1. sanded with 120 grit 2. water sanded with 600grit 3. water sanded with 800grit arms and fingers are numb at this point Used some Aluminum polish that had some fine grit in it, used a drill with a buff pad...........got a little shine but still not what I see others having. What are we doing wrong? speed/type of buffer? not the right grit sandpaper? different rubbing compound? Help please! [/QUOTE]
