    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rub a dub

Rub a dub

You can buy rubbing compound at any hardware store and polish it all up. You'll need a buffing wheel or an attachment that fits on your drill. It sounds like fun but it's really hard work and takes a lot of time. There's a place near me that does it professionally....their stuff ends up looking almost like chrome...but it's really expensive! :cry:
 
Its not dirty its like almost looikng like corrision or whatever aluminum does when it sits... i tried chorme polish it didnt work but ill try maybe a rubbing compound unless anyone else has anyideas
 
Aluminum Coated

Aluminum Coated

Most of the problem is the clearcoat that is preventing you from polishing it. If the clear is yellow, cracked or covering corosion you must use a stripper first to remove it. Then polish the bare aluminum!
Jim :D
