Okay, I'm going to do a video about polishing aluminum. This is my 1970 Ford. It was our local Votex school for a couple of years. I painted it. It made a few mistakes, but it's not too bad. Anyway, the aluminum trim is really bad. So I started front and round with it. Before you come here, you can see the wood grain in it. It just looks like a piece of old aluminum. But after front and round, I got the wood grain to come out. Now, I'm trying to polish the aluminum, which unfortunately is back on the truck. So after talking to body shops and this and that, I can... Everybody told me I'd just have to use the mother's polish and a lot of elbow grease. Well, yesterday I found out you see this headlight. I don't know how good it's going to come in. Or just the aluminum around here. It's all scratched. And oxidized, whatever, it looks like crap. So that's what I'm going to do. But here's a piece I'm going to be able to see what I did yesterday. And you'll see how shiny that is. And that was done. I used some 320 wet paper. And I sanded it down through the... I don't know what they put on their lacquer or something. I don't know what they put on there, but sanded it down through there. And then just if there were any scratches from there, I went to a 400 and a 600 and I didn't take long at all. And then just buffing with the mothers. And the crap came out good. See, there's a piece I did yesterday. And now we'll come up to a piece I haven't done yet. See the difference? So we'll do that. And I want to see how this light will come out. That comes out good. I'll be impressed by myself. Okay, so back to the truck now. As you can see, hopefully, I got them working on the big scratches. I got them. I had to use 220 wet paper. See, here's my bucket of tricks. Sponge. I'll just grab the end and a whole bunch of different papers in here. I got 223, 410 and 600 grit. So I have a feeling that this is going to come out really good. I did this piece this morning. Right here. Where the hell's my finger? Oh, all right. Did it this morning? I had to. I just ran it. That was 320. And just a quick one. 320. And then I used my Dremel with a... Look, it's stupid little wheel on it. Which I never thought I'd be using this. But it actually works good. Put a little of this mother's on there. And... Where? Oh, that was a... This shit. Put that on there. After you do a 320, you can go... You can go 400 and 600. Then you can just hand buff it and it comes out shiny as hell, too. But I just did the 320. Then I hit it with a Dremel. Then I did a hand buff. Not a whole lot of effort. It takes a little time and patience. I should mask off my truck, which I'm going to start doing. This just started out as an experiment. I just keep going. But anyways, to this headlight. Or the trim around here. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pull it all off the truck. I'm going to do this off the truck because it's a really big piece, as you can see. And I got to do the top of the truck. So this I did with 220. Now I'm going to hit it with 320. And then some 400, 600. We'll see how it shines up. Alright. Okay, one more thing you're for. Forget. When you're sanding it down, you want to get all of the shiny spots off. You want it to be all dull like it is right here. Because if you have these shiny spots, then it's not going to buff off right. So you've got to get all this stuff off of here. Get down or just dull a little one on. And then it'll polish right up from there. I don't know if I should be wearing a respirator or not, but... I'm sorry to wear a respirator when you're smoking or drinking beer or so. Alright. Alright. I've gone through and did 3,200, 400. Now I'm going to do 600. I already did it a little bit with 600, but I'll do it again here. And you can tell when you start getting the black up, you know, you're biting into the mouth. So it's really, really simple. And it's not really labor intensive. It's just a little time intensive, but hell. It's a little bit everyday. Get ready for the car shows. The truck is not perfect. It's a work in progress. Alright, so you can see the black there. So now we'll just take a sponge and wipe it off. Oh. Alright, soapy water. Of course. We hit it with a sponge. Now you can see, I hope, that... Right now. I don't know if you can see how smooth it is. But now I'm going to do a little hand polishing on it. And we'll see what happens here. I'm sure it's going to come up beautiful. So... Alright, I'll show you after I'm done. Well, just a minute. Now... You know, I just used advanced auto headies, Terry cloth, towels, a sail for a six pack for five bucks. I can't beat it. Just put a little mother's on two fingers. You don't need a whole lot. And then I'll have it. Alright. So here it is with one rub down with the mothers. I could have probably used the 320 and 400 and 600 a little longer. It's got some little scratches from the sandpaper. But they don't get a buff out. And when this comes off the truck, probably secondhand this whole front done. It'll be a day, a day and a half. But it's looking pretty good here. So I'm going to give it another hope. The mothers and I'll see what happens here. Okay. So now check this out. That is freaking awesome. Alright, so now remember, I went around to different body shops in the area. These custom shops and stuff. And I asked them about the best way to clean this trim. And everybody said, I'm just going to have to use the mothers or I'm going to buy new stuff. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll take this any day over buying new stuff. Or if I was just using mother's strength, Christ, it would take me a freaking year to polish this truck up. And doing it like I do it, it's very little elbow grease. So I got to do this door here. How's that? There's a difference. Alright, I did this piece yesterday and then short amount of time. Let's see what you say. Alright, sorry about that. I had to take a phone call. Okay, so like I was saying, you know, everybody's advice was either buy new. You know how much a trim pack is just for just truck? Just freaking trim pack is just, I don't know, $1,500 or $2,000. That was a crap like that. And this stuff is looking like brand new. So, you know, even if there are some little scratches from the sanding paper, I mean, they're small, but shit. It's freaking things, oh, it's my boss' awesome, so. Alright, well, that's how to do it. Just a coffee can with warm soapy water, a sponge, a sponge with a spray pee, scrubby, and then all the different sand papers. 223, 2400, 600, 600. I'm sure you could go to like 1200 and you could just, you could sand a shine right in the thing, but yeah. So, anyways, you need that. I'm gonna roll paper towels. The hole is to wash off when I'm done. Gonna have a nice seat to sit on, a little one with wheels. Of course, gonna have a cigarette to get a music. And later today, you gotta have beer, so. That's all you need. Alright, bye. Okay, here's the truck. Here's the side I have it. Done, I mean, I just polished this with the, just by hand with the mother. It's just the top trim. I've got them where to hubcaps. And here's the front, which I got to disassemble to get that trim. Here's the side that I've done with that way. There's that one spot I've done. And there, this is all I've been done here. Feeling more work to do. I mean, just, uff, I'm gonna do that little piece and I'm gonna do the back here and all that. The side and the mirrors. That's the truck.
