I have a '68 Lund that I am repainting, but I am leaving the original bare aluminum on the lower half of the hull bare. It is heavily oxidized and spotty. I don't mind the dull finish, but is there a way to even it out with light sanding to remove the spots and have a nice uniform dull appearance rather than spotty? If so, what grit would you recommend or what other options would I have?

I am not looking to polish it, just even out the oxidized finish.
Thanks,
Kyle

I've seen a lot of people talking about them on here. I see a bunch of different Scotchbrite products, which specific Scotchbrite pad would you recommend? And would I use it dry or wet?

Thanks!
