Polishing anodised aluminium

Post by colonel mustard »

Hi All,
I have been trying to get the deep scratches out of my britax weather shield frame. I have used 240-2500 grit with WD40 then onto sisal, stitched and soft wheels with alternating brown and blue compound. It’s ok but not great. Any suggestions on a better way to achieve getting the deeper scratches out and to fine polish ready for re-anodising.
Thanks all.

Think it looks ok to me, but is it corroded through in those few places?

Hi Nick
Yes a tad pitted in areas, which it is what it is. I was trying to get the small pitting out and the smearing on the polished face.
