TRYING TO POLISH ALUMINUM THE RIGHT WAY

I think I have found the answer to great BLING BLING for the little DIO. I still have some secrets I am not telling , but maybe I will, if my parts turn out. I am waiting for it to warm up to 65 degrees to build the 120cc stroker. Everything is basically ready.

The real secret to great aluminum is to be sure to play cheesy 80's film montage rock while polishing it.

Aluminum really gets psyched up when it hears Winger.

@WhatTheFlyinFudge KIP WINGER WAS A LEGEND IN 1990. NOW HE IS PROBABLY A PLUMBER IN DULUTH MINNESOTA....

Forgot to ask, is that a 6" or 8" grinder and what size buffing wheels are you using?

[DIOSpeedDemon]

THis is an 8" grinder and 2-6" wheels stacked on each side. One side is for cutting and the right is for final polish. SEMPER FI!!! Marines Kick Ass and Take Names...

[USMCDEVILDOGZ]

Wow looks good, is that a ryobi bench grinder? Did you just take the guards off and add buffing wheels?

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Yes , I did take the guards off and you can see them behind the grinder. THe wheel guards have a light built in so I just placed the cords behind the grinder.

I use a VERY slowly rotating HUGE disk like this.(DAMN, Youtube does not let me link the image, but it is made of wool and looks like the one that is shown at 1:05 in your video...but it is HUGE) + Autosol (Not sure if it is available in USA, you might wanna Google it) The diameter of the disk I use is about 80 cm/31.5 inch and thickness about 10 cm/4 inch. I use old old washing machine motor to rotate it 100 rpm. Gives perfect shine.

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

@DIOSpeedDemon Yeah, and he probably has really shiny pipes (oh, the places we could go with this...)

Your video would be SO much better without the background music. It is a distraction and unnecessary. (People who don't like this song will not want to watch your video when the song annoys them.)

@badderthanyou There's no such thing as bad 80's music, except maybe Boy George, LOL.

[badderthanyou]

The bad 80's music is distracting.

@TheOsoBrown why dont you make a diy vid?i really would like to see it from someone who does it every day.

[TheOsoBrown]

try using green for your final coloring instead of white. White is very greasy and can add to the streaking effect. You can actually you green to cut as well. Acetone is pretty harsh to use in my opinion, I use wd40 as the piece is still warm. Then a mild soap and warm water. Just thought I'd send out a tip, I own a polishing business in socal and like to help out those DIY'ers even though it hurts the pocket :)
