Powder Coated Aluminum Diamond Plate Tool Box

Looks like you got your work cut out for you

The AIO's won't do much for the waterspots, but will clean it up and add some depth and some gloss.
IDK about the metal polish on powdercoat results.

If I were near home I would send you some of the OPS/GPS AIO's that I have. I've given all of the others away.

Whatever you choose, keep us posted...at least an after pic or test spot pic here on this thread.

Thanks Vegas,

Im thinking I might try test spots with the Flitz and use it on my chrome bumpers too. Maybe megs #20, but that might be a waste. Ill just have to take my time and see how it goes. I will post some photos once I do the test spots and/or proceed. I don't think I will get the whole thing done at once lol.

I think I have Klasse ALL-IN-ONE in my storage that's about 6 years old. Does it go bad? Would that be worth a test spot? Similar to Megs 20 I think huh?

PM either Klasse Act or Bob aka FUNX725 if you don't get an answer here on this thread.

Good deal.
Here's a pic that I've been posting for about a year now. 11 year old bumper on a 71 c10...OMF finishing pad/Mothers aluminum polish/9227

Threw out that old bp and added an Optimum adaptor.

thought I would post an update.

I did a test spot with a terry cloth and Klasse, it worked great. I could actually see the clouds with it. I will be doing a test spot the Flitz in a couple weeks and will let you know. I am think of using the Flitz, then the Klasse over it to clean up whats left and seal it.

So, is it powdered clear?

Good move with the update. I was under the impression it was powdered black.

im not really sure. I thought powder coat comes in different sheens. Is it possible that it has a clear coat over it? I might call Weather Guard to confirm. I will keep you updated.

You're right. My bad.
Viewing from the laptop has its disadvantages.

Test spot shows well. More than I expected from a non-abrasive product on neglected paint. Looking forward to thread continuation.

Here is what Wether Guard said;

"If the box looks dull, you may apply carnauba wax. This can produce a glossy finish. On the other hand, if the clear coat was peeling off, we recommend media blasting in order to make changes to the surface such as smoothing rough surfaces, roughening smooth surfaces, shaping surfaces and removing substances such as paint from a surface. After this process, you may repaint your tool box. "

So I don't think Flits will be the best thing to use if it has a clear coat, right?

Kinda why I suggested the AIO's.

However, your test spot looks like "black chrome"...or mirror finish. At least from my perspective.

It's these "particulars" that take the vehicle's end product to another level. Completes the total package.
