This is a quick demo on how I polish my stuff. Like my knuckledusters and other things. Just very basic in my opinion. Everyone can do it. Just take your time and don't rush. That's very important.

  • I wonder how reflective you can get any particular metal by polishing it... Maybe you can start thinking about how to make a large parabolic dish out of aluminum and polishing it to concentrate sunlight and use it as a heat source for your kiln ;)

  • 1 person botched their polishing job. Nice job!

  • @stevensj13

    Not like iron or steel,no. But it does oxidize and develops a dull grey patina. Dishwashers can turn aluminum almost black over time.

  • @Mickeydrews Aluminum doesn't rust....

  • Thanks a lot for the video. This will help me someday polish some aluminium Detroit Diesel valve covers.

  • its a mirror!!!!!

  • same method for very thin pieces of aluminum? also how do you keep it from rusting

  • awesome

    now i can polish my aluminum-made cosplay katana nicely

  • Almost as shiny as my cock!

  • I have a 11foot (1950? 1960?) boat thats pretty cool looking. i want to polish it to mirror. I wander how i'd do it though.
