How to save mirror-polished aluminium surface?

Post by terecha » Tue May 08, 2012 1:57 pm

My question is: how to save the great look of cover or any alu part after polishing for a long time?

Any ideas?

The only way to keep the shine is to polish it often.

You can apply clear lacquer but the surface needs to be less shiny or the lacquer will not 'take'
