Well... interesting, but you will find that aluminium is a type of metal - so that bit doesn't really work ^^.

And I don't get the paint stripper part either, just put some white spirit/wd40 on a rag and wipe the parts down....? And then polish them... and the most effective way to shine them is with a buffer, but a lot of people don't have access to that I suupose. And then of course you can use clear lacquer as well...

paint stripper will be much more powerful than white spirit. nitromors will actually take the paint off. e.g a whole engine you can strip. white spirit wont do that.

thumpstar get a decent camera ffs them pictures are sh1te :icon_lol:

Well I gathered that all the parts he ''polished'' had no paint on to start off with so I was just giving an easier alternative.

Ahhh.... I forgot to rant about the pics :roll:.

Take them during the day, outside, hold the camera still... and let it focus. Providing it's not a phone of course lol :roll:

autosol and nitromors with some wire wool and a rag, works a treat.
