Truck Alloy Fuel Tank Polishing

Ойын-сауық

In this episode I make an attempt to polish my alloy fuel tank, the tank was in a poor condition with pitting and has never been polished.
I only spent an hour working on the tank and was quite impressed with the results and I've now got a great base to continue polishing the tank to a high standard.

    It all depends what grade of alloy the tank is made of as aircraft grade does not polish up to a mirror like shine but is still shiny if you know what I mean.i have used white diamond alloy polish which I found to be good on wheels available on ebay..

    With that much pitting I would have started with 800 and work up to 2000. Then use an electric buffer or buffer wheel on a drill with the polishing paste.
