Polishing a Gorillamaxx Chassis?
 
Anyone know how to polish a G-Maxx chassis? Is it clear andonized? Does it polish up nicely?

It should polish nicely.

What would you use to polish it? Is it anodized?

Go to an auto parts store and get some aluminum mag wheel polish. That chassis doesnt look to me like its got anything other than a nice machined finish on it. You can use a soft rag to polish it, or you can try a buffing wheel on a dremel, but be careful - you might get dirty!

Polishing is always a mess. And no, the gmaxx is not anondized unless you get the colored versions. But it will polish VERY NICELY!

Mothers polish works fine with me.

I find the g-maxx parts rather hard to polish.

Get a buffing wheel and some compound made for buffing. I got some home made polishing stuff. It works better , faster and easier than any thing I have used before. I find that if it is to rough sand it with some light sand paper first. The buffing comes out much nicer. Can even get the chrome look.

I tried polishing it - I couldn't get it to a chrome finish, but it was shinier.... Is it possible to chrome it out?

captain harlock 09.05.2006 02:43 PM

Probably if you do it several times.

neweuser 09.05.2006 02:52 PM

It'll take some time, and you'll need some speed on that buffer wheel, but it is possible....it will also depend on the compound you are using.

I use mothers for the first application, then i use neverdull.....to shine mine up...comes out pretty good.
