mux:
1. Use some acid-based oven cleaner (every oven cleaner must work!). It will act as degreaser AND some aluminium protection layers remover (not paint but anodisation). 2. Use paint remover chemical solution. No need of wire brushing. 3. Repeat paint remover - if necessary. 4. When you strip all the paint - use again the oven cleaner to remove anodisation from "bare" aluminium (after paint removal). 5. You can use brush but be prepared to deep scratches. I use the 3M ScotchBrite (2 sizes) and the results are very good (but I polish head covers at the moment). 6. The finish is "SONAX Chrome & Aluminium polish wax" - cheap and efective - even if you do it manually (the electric drill with polishing accessoaries will speed-up the process). PS: This is my experience with aluminium cleaning and polish. Try to not scratch the aluminium surfaces during your work! |
