Making 944 alloy arms sparkle*

Hi

All the 944 alloy arms I see in photos on here look really nice and clean, is there any tips to make em shine?

Hello Steve
in my opinion you should use a sand blasting machine with a relative soft material (glass beeds, fine sand or other) so as not to damage the aluminium. Good point would be to do it before installing the new bearing)

Hi

Thanks for the replies. A friend works for a chemical and has some stuff called alu wash, I will give it a try on a small area.
