Hi Dennis, enjoying your videos mate. Do you make up kits and send to New Zealand?
Hi Dennis. Great instructional s , you do such a awesome job . My question to you is , I,m working on my 28' aluminum "I" frame boat trailer that has been in and out of salt water , do I follow the same steps as you do for the other aluminum that you polish ? I want the trailer looking as sharp as the work you do . Keep up the great work Dennis thank you again...... Kevin from Michigan
Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Kevin, Sorry for the late reply. yes the steps are exactly the same. :) good luck... post some pics on my Facebook page when your done would love to see your work!
Appreciate all the videos ! I’m from PA and was wondering where I can get the menzerna bars ? Thanks
Can this kit be used on an Airstream?
Yes of course
dennis, just bought so old style freightliner rims, but they have a lot of old asphalt and road wear, I acid wash them but still can't get clean enough to polish. should I start sanding or get a wire brush
I use a flat screw driver or a scrapper to remove the big chunks, then SOS with varsol/mineral spirits to clean the rest and it should be ready for sanding. thanks for watching!

Hi..what i need for beginner..
All you need is my ultimate kit, www.dcsupershinestore.com
@@DCSuperShine how about shipping...worldwide?
what's the lifespan that you get out of the buffing wheels?
Great job on the videos. I did a pontoon boat like the one in one video, but during the summer, the logs started to tarnish. So, I'm back to sanding again. Do I need to start with 220 and work all the way to the end as if I'm doing this for the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
If you just polished it at the beginning of the season often you don’t even need to re-sand. But 600 and 1000 is usually enough
What is finish approximately ..what grit ???
I own a natural stone restoration company. When we refinish marble for instance...The final grit before a vitrification polish process we stop at 800 or 1800. Even though the polish will have a 500 grit property in the polish.. have you ever taken aluminium up to a higher grit?
Thank you
With a DA I stop at 600 and when I use a high speed rotary I stop at 1000 anything higher is a waste of time when you use quality compounds. Hope this helps
I saw a video where a guy sprayed a small amount of WD-40 on when they sanded....Any thoughts?????
Ya some use oil or grease when they sand, it helps with heat and makes the paper last longer... that’s what they say anyways.. imo it’s fucking waste of time and makes an unwanted mess. :)
@@DCSuperShine thanks...Don't need the extra mess....I'm a effin slob without it....
would you still recommend using sand paper to polish aluminum boat?
Yes of course, all aluminum is basically the same process
What rouge bars do you start with @dcsupershine
My bars have changed a bit since this video. I still use Menzerna but they came out out with a much better heavy cut bar... the 439T green heavy cut. And I finish with the 480BLF blue hope this helps and thanks for watching
Do you have a foam pad or anything between the sander and sand paper?
What sand grit do i use for repairing curb rash for a aluminum wheels
+tha Kidd La depends on how bad it is. I never go lower then 100 grit and I finish with 600
Where do you get the electric D-A sander?
will this kit be enough to polish the wheels tanks and bumper of a tri axle dump
+Ryan bennett Yes you'll be able to do your truck twice with no problem.

How do you know when to sand? Do you always have to sand?
+OTrainExpress on rims it depends on how bad they are, on tank or flat surfaces no matter the size I always sand first.
DCSuperShine You sand to get rid of small or large scratches correct? Basically making a flat surface?
+OTrainExpress yes correct
what's the price for the kit
+Martin Jimenez $147 and $167 depending on which flange system you choose
