I use a quarter inch air die grinder on my aluminum. It really cuts down on the time involved. You will be suprised at the results. You can make it look almost as good as chrome! Basicly start with as rough a grit sand paper as needed depending on how bad the aluminium is to start with. Keep going to a finer grit as the surface improves. ( 1000 grit then emery cloth ) Then get out the polishing wheels. You can buy different grades of jewelers rough to finish the job. Hope this helps.
