?? on polishing a snowmobile tunnel

[BearOnt]

Hi,
I am new to this site, its awsome.

I have a vintage sowmobile I am restoring and the Aluminum needed help, deep scratches and weld repairs.

I first smoothed the welds and scratches with coarse and fine emery cloth, I then wet sanded everything with 320-600-1000-1500, then used miguiars cleaner #4 and #2, finishing up with a flitz ball and their compound.
This was my first attempt , it was OK but not perfect.

Question - Did I do it right or is there an easier/better method?

Thanks - Bear

Nxt Metal Polysh will not remove scrathes, and that sort of thing. But now that you have them mostly gone, you can use it to polish, shine, and protect the surface now.

Here's a fun writeup that one of our moderators, 2hotford, did on his aluminum fishing boat.
