I'm thinking of having my side pipes polished professionally - I have the polishing mops I got from frosts for the drill, but I don't think I'd get an even finish over the full length of the pipe. I think it, like painting, is more of an art than a science. |

You can polish stainless yourself and make a professional finish. I contacted a company selling polishing kits and they advised using lime powder to finish the polish - and they're right it made all the difference by taking the smear away. Ok I was only polishing my radiator grill. But if you had seen it straight after being welded: even my local friendly stainless fabricator shop couldn't believe how good it looked.Have a look at my flickr site.
If you are interested I'm sure I can find the company's details: you can do it - anyone who can get a first time pass can do anything!!!
I don't know about polishing aluminium ...........
