Title: Profile Anni Box Cranks Spider.
Post by: Macmania on February 13, 2010, 08:01 PM
Right.......before I make a balls up of this, thought I had better check first.
Looking to polish my Profile Anni Box Cranks Aluminium Spider on my polishing wheel so that I could use it as a mirror  ::)

Is this possible or is the aluminium some kind of bizarre kryptonite concoction that just won't polish  :-\

Thanks in advance  :daumenhoch:

could have a clear coat on top of it nath

if its raw, alloy will polish no probs ,,,just be carefull some alloys are softer than others ,and you could ripple the alloy if you go to fast and push on to hard
