thanks guys... i did get the aluminum angle from home depot, i cant post a pic right now.
i lent my mother my camera but i think i have another one around here somewhere ill take a look a lil later when i have a min.
so yeh yesterday i did do one 2 foot section and it came out ok not perfect but a hell of alot better than where i started.
i will try and get a comparison shot later if i find the camera.
the part that i did looks great if your standing a few feet away but if you get real close you can still see lil marks
i dont know if this is scratch marks from paper or if it is still the streak marks that was on the extruded aluminum to start with i think its the scatch from paper tho not 100% sure
one leg i went from 320,400, 600 sand paper to sisal with emery compound, denim wheel with tripoli compound and sewn cotton wheel with white rouge.
when i finished that leg is when i noticed the scratch's still there if you look close.
so on the other leg i went from 320,400,600,800,1000,and very quickly with 1500 sand paper to try and get the marks out there then i did the same thing with the wheels and compounds.
that leg was slightly better than the first but for all that sanding and polishing scratch marks were still there (not quite as bad but definitely visible if if your less than a few feet away.
i even got "noxon 7 metal polish" it says it works on aluminum ( oh and talk about the smell it reeks like ammonia )
but any way i rubbed it on and off just like the directions say ( only did this to a small area near the end) and i ended up washing it off. i think it didnt do much and if anything i think it made it look duller not shinier.
i dont know it there is anything better than this brand or if i even need anything like that any way.
any of you guys use any thing like that and find it helpfull?
ok i gota go do some things ill try and post a pic later if i find camera
