I used a folded piece of 150 Emory cloth folded so as to keep edges square and not remove powder coat from sides. It leaves a flat aluminum finish that obviously will need touched up occasionally. But shine starts spotting up faster and is a lot more work.

Want shine? Just go up in the numbers on the cloth. For the ultimate, go with the wet paper type. It would probably be a 400 and can go to a 1000.

Remember, don't let anything make a slave out of you.

Guess it depends on if it's in love or in heat.

This is what we go by for aircraft. Note that there are two different types of Scotch-Brite.

Great chart!! I have white / light grey / green / and maroon and use boxes of it.
I also use mounted scotch brite wheels and a 6" wide belt.
I couldn't work without them.
