SHARKHIDE Aluminum Polish is specially formulated to combine the fast cutting properties of a coarse rubbing compound, with the fine polishing characteristics of a polishing rouge. By doing this, you can quickly bring a dull finish to a reflective shine, but without changing compounds and going back over the initial cut, you can continue on to a highly reflective scratch and swirl free finish. SHARKHIDE Aluminum Polish can be applied by hand as well as variable speed high quality buffers. Since aluminum varies in alloy and hardness, it's suggested to try different pads as well as different buffer speeds to find the best combination for your job. Another little trick we've learned is most alloys polish easier if they're acid washed first. Since most our customers are doing large polish jobs such as boats, aircraft, aluminum RV's and such, we've packaged our quality polish in one and two pound cans. This eliminates the cost and hassle of purchasing several small tubes of other brands. With SHARKHIDE Aluminum Polish, you're not limited to aluminum,. It works on virtually all types of metals. Not only that, it can remove scratches from Lexan and plexiglas windshield, and can also remove yellowing and haziness from headlight covers. It also removes light rust and bluing on stainless and chrome headers. And don't forget your gold and silver jewelry.
