Refinish aluminum Vega bumpers

Postby marlin1893 » Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:45 pm

Any idea how to remove the oxidation and anodizing on bumpers to polish them. Also how to polish window trim that is scratched ?

I used a Mother's Power Ball with their Power Metal liquid polish on the bumpers. For the window trim, you'll need a sisal polishing wheel and some rouge. Clyde can give you more insight on that procedure.

The window trim is anodized. Polishing anodized trim really doesn't do a whole lot and will not remove scratches. The only real way to do this is to strip the anodizing off and then begin the task of sanding the scratches out and then begin the polishing process. Most trim can be brought back to excellent condition. The only negative is at this point you either have to have it reanodized or just keep the trim polished.
