First Time Polishing Help
Hey all.

First try on polishing. No coating on airstream. Using Nuvite F7. Aluminum has a lot of pitting. Should we be changing grade?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAirstream Forums1446782760.653885.jpg Views: 134 Size: 92.0 KB ID: 251691

Nuvite F9, then 7, then 5, then 3,---Finish with White Diamond Metal Polish to finish and seal. Always clean with mineral spirts as you go to remove black residue between grades.
