Hello,
I was wondering if anybody had any feedback as to how to clean/polish aluminum diamond plate tool boxes that people put in their truck beds.

I would wash and dry the tool box like you would your vehicle and then use a product like Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polish (http://www.autogeek.net/mg13005.html). I have used it many times and it is a great metal polish.

Thank you for the Advice
I was wondering if there was a product that you could use with a rotary or the PC?:buffing: I have a couple of old wool pads that I could use.

I think it would be fine to use NXT All Metal Polysh with a PC, maybe even the rotary also. Mike Phillips should be able to give you a definite answer on that though.
Have you looked into the Wolfgang MetallWerk lineup?

:iagree:. No first hand knowledge, but Meghan did some impressive work on diamond plate when WG Metal system was released.

I've had great results with wool/rotary and M105 or 3m extra cut followed by a metal polish. Im sure any compound you have on had would do well to cut oxidation and bring the gloss up. I use the metal polish to refine and burnish the gloss.

I would take a close look @the box most of the polished alumium boxes have a clearcoat .Then your can just polish that with 105/205 LOL
