    Polish aluminium rocker panels

    Hi, new to the forum. Lot of good info here, This has probably been asked Before. I´ve been wet sanding with 2000 grit then 2500. Polished with Mothers mag and alu polish with Mothers Power ball. Can´t get rid of the sanding marks. Do i use to slow or high rpms on my cordless power drill maybe? Maybe should polish for a longer time? More sanding with even finer grit?
    Best regards Björn

    If the Mag Polish isn’t cutting it, you’re going to need to step up to a more aggressive metal polish to remove your sanding marks. Maybe try something like this Mothers Power Metal + a finer grit sandpaper.

    Re: Polish aluminium rocker panels

    I personally go to 5k grit. I polish turbo covers and backing plates by hand and refine from 800 up to 5k. Then I polish to a mirror
