tried 0000 with mothers have 600 wet dry sand paper there's polishing then there's polishing What do you have to do to get that mirror like shine? Guess that's were power polishers can come in use as I have to be careful with this as I might be getting a carpel tunel thing |

Never use oven cleaner on alum Its really a reactive metal likely to clous up on you I thought about jewelers rouge probably red, green & white I might have to look into that |

Oh I tried the Wet Sanding with 800 grit and it totaly dulled the Finish on my rug nozzle. I tried buffing it out but it stays Dull...Oh well it does have that retro Brushed aluminum look that is pretty cool. |

Well, buy some 1500 grit and 2000 grit...that should do it! You just have to work your way up, I suppose! I bet it'll work...that way you shouldn't have those spots anymore! ~~K~~ |

sodium hydroxide is lye It is used in soaps & then neutralized Can't see using it for aluminum even of you wipe it off real fast. I've used oven cleaner inside the oven sometimes it comes in contact w alum trim & it turns white & cloudy |
