Re: Polish aluminum engine

If you are polishing a piece of aluminium - not necessarily as large as a crankcase, steel wool and soap is a good way to achieve a good finish. Rub the steel wool (moistened with water) onto the bar of soap and apply to vigorously the aluminium. Deep scratches and marks will need to be dealt with before polishing. It is better to keep the action all in the same direction as you would when using sandpaper. When the surface is polished to your satisfaction degrease it with some solvent and apply a clear protective finish.
