Re: Polishing an aluminum boat
On another use for flour.
Darrell Waltrip was talking yesterday about back in the 'old days' how they'd do anything to get that "aero" edge. Everything from taking a razor blade and shaving the "Goodyear" off the sidewalls of the tires to a file and sandpaper for even the smallest edges.
Then he mentioned a driver used to (after all of that) take flour and sprinkle it/rub it on the hood of his car before the Daytona (and Talladega) race. That drivers name escapes me however. Probably one of the Alabama gang, Bobby Allison perhaps.

Another Question, What product do you use on Truck fuel tanks to polish, I know there is lots of stuff out there, I've tried a few and like I said earlier last one I used was Gord's, it looked ok but not like on Gord's website
