Polishing Body Tub

[Chrisp5782]

Hi,

I'm planning on polishing up the bare aluminium on my Caterham and was wondering if anyone had any top tips or knows of a product to make the job slightly less labour intensive?

I've got to do the whole body tub so I can see it being a fairly lengthy and unpleasant experience!?

That's amazing!!!!

I wasn't after a finish quite that good but now I've seen it...............see you in January '15 when I finally come out the garage!

Well there seems to be plenty of options out there, I'll give it a go this weekend while she's at work and report back the results (if anyone's interested of course!?)

What condition is your tub in at the moment?

If it has the factory brushed finish, you will need to take that down first. Polishing will highlight any imperfections, so you need to nib those out first.

If you're a saddo like me, you'll find it very therapeutic

Your car looks amazing, it must have taken forever, even with a machine!

The polishing mission hasn't started yet but here it is. I'm very pleased with it despite a few battery woes!
