Our Polishing System

Our system can be used to polish most anything made from bare aluminum except for items that have a rough cast or machine cut finish. If you've tried polishing aluminum before, you probably used a system of edge buffs and rouge bars. Our system was developed in the aircraft industry and uses random-orbit polishers and compounding polishers instead. It's cleaner, faster and much easier to learn than the traditional edge buff and rouge bar technique and, as you can see from the photos above, produces spectacular results.

Note: The video shows way too much polish being used on the Cyclo polisher. Use only an amount about the size of an M&M candy on each head.
