Re: Polishing a grille

The grilles are anodized and after y ou remove that, then you will be polishing forever. Just a thought to have in mind. With that covered, the process of taking wet and dry sand paper (starting with 600 grit and working your way to 2500 grit) and using wd-40 to keep the paper clean as you sand is a way to start. I finish up with a tub of Mother's aluminum polish (to remove sanding scratches) and then a touch of Mother's "billet Polish" for a mirror finish.

If you are really serious you can purchase some razor buffing pads for your die grinder and a buffing taper to hold them. Get some polishing compund sticks and go to it. It works great and takes less "Elbow Grease". Look at purchasing a couple bottles of "Metal Sealant" to seal the metal and keep water spots out of it.
