If the metal is anodized, has scratches or deep pits the process starts differently but ends the same way.
The reason I ask is because I would like to polish my slipperential, and my FLM bulks, which come pretty dull. I would also like to do my x braces as well. It seems the 6061 aluminum is more likely to start dull, but would like a better finish on them. Would the Wizard polish and protector do me justice in this? My racer X comes polished, so that ain't so bad! But, I would like the rest to be shiny too! :027:
thanks Man!
