You have to be careful sanding aluminum, aluminum dust is extremely flammable if it mixes with other metals and water it will start a fire and a small confined space can such a a trash can or even a small room can potentially just be a bomb

I just did a junk yard wheel today to practice. I used a da and started at 80 grit! After I acid washed the wheel. Worked it all the way to 220. Then heavy cut and then polish. Took 4 hours for both sides of one wheel. After seeing this, I need to get the orbital sander. Looks like it took way more off way faster then the DA. The heavy pitting on the bolt holes took forever. Thanks for sharing sir. U make it look easy.
