Default Aluminum polishing

"Steve B" fired this volley in news:jsqrpl$irm$1
@speranza.aioe.org:

How do I polish oxidized aluminum, as in a
boat hull? don't have to be mirror, just get it looking better.



The basic rule for polishing is: Use progressively finer abrasives, each
being selected to easily take out the scratches from the last. If you
don't have any serious "grinding" to do, a lamb's wool buffer starting out
with coarse rubbing compound, and working to ultra-fine, should do it.
(different pad for each compound).
