aluminum and metal polisher

[holdencaulfield]

elow poh! mga masters, may nakagamit na ba sa inyo ng mother's mags an alum polisher? ayus ba?

gagamitin ko kasi sa mga aluminum parts ng mga bike ko. sabi nila ito daw the best.

baka may alternative dito like GLO? sabi ng mga friends ko puwede daw glo sa alumunim? sa lata ng glo wala naman nakalagay na for aluminum.

baka may ma suggest kayo and shop na rin dito sa banawe lang mga chong. dito lang kasi ako and ayaw ko na magtanung tanung kaya sa inyo nalang.

thanks peeps and all of you rock!
woohoooo!

aluminum may or may not be polished..... but GLO works fine with it.

afaik, aluminum's natural finish is not shiny, unlike gold, silver or brass.
kaya siguro di kasama sa listahan ng GLO.

when it comes to bike finishes, "polished aluminum" lang ang alam kong may "mirror like" finish.
"chrome finished" or "silver painted / finished" kung tawagin nila sa mga LBS.
dati, GLO rin lang ang ginagamit ko. it works, but that was sooo many years ago na.
lacquer thinner na lang ang ginagamit ko ngayon, lalabas naman ang tunay / dating kintab niya.

the shiny polish of aluminum with glo or colgate white, does not last..
aluminum is a very active metal. it readily reacts with oxygen in the air, forming aluminum oxide, that "very fine lusterless" surface of aluminum products.
if shined aluminum is to remain shiny, it has to be coated with a coat of clear, or metal-coated, to prevent the aluminum underneath, from reacting with the oxygen. (actually, it is the metal coating over the aluminum, that shines..).

parang ROTC belt buckle yan.. makintab sa umaga.. pangit na sa kinabukasan.

thanks peeps!
may site kasi na yung stem ng bike napakintab ng mother's. well after buffing ng sandpaper tapos apply ng mother's.

kahit di mirror like, basta shiny and mawala yung umido.

naalala ko yang buckle dr. d. pinakikintab ko pa, ihahampas lang naman pala sakin ng erpats ko.
