Hi.

I am restoring a bass tracker that is about 20 years old that I recently purchased. I am in the process of cleaning/polishing the aluminum. I am using Sharkhide products. I already have applied the Sharkhide "Cleaner" and am now starting to apply the Sharkhide Polish, with a Makita buffer 9227c. I was wondering if anyone has any advice, suggestions on using these products to get the best results. The Makita buffer is new, so I am learning how to use a buffer at the same time I am learning how to clean and polish aluminum, so I am trying to shorten my learning curve. Any ideas, suggestions, tips would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
Joe

Here is a link to the Starcraft section, there are a few guys that have polished their boats, search for sharkhide and a few will pop up. Also search the restoration section.

I'm looking to use sharkhide but on a brushed alum finish. Good luck
