RE: Polishing Bright Anodizing

Mike,
	I've been concerned that heat might cause the parts to warp - have
you seen any of this?

Thanks,
SC

Paul, I did the trim on my Belvedere and it turned out great. After
stripping it with easyoff (yellow can only) oven cleaner, I buffed the trim
with a medium compound and buff wheel on the bench grinder. Then a fine buff
compound and fine buff wheel. The trick is to get the piece hot with the
wheel, use gloves. They came out like a mirror.

We discussed removing anodizing from trim awhile back.  But I don't remember
talking about polishing it.  What I'm specifically wanting to do are the two
large trim panels that straddle the license plate on the back of my Sport
Fury.  These are cast aluminum and are bright anodized. 

Can I use some very fine compound on a buffing wheel?
