  • keeping polished alum. shiny?

    does just wax work? i polished my aluminum driveshaft today, before im gonna install it, and want to keep it looking good (i know, its under the car, but still). does wax work?

    a wax will work... i woudl try zaino... since it will last longer and bonds to any smooth hard surface...

    but your driveshaft?

      Polished driveshaft?? No offense, but thats like putting tire glaze on the tire treads. I can understand if it's going to be in shows though.

      Wax should work fine. Although it probably won't hold a shine too long because of all the road gunk.

        wax isnt the best for it. my dad and i sell a nice metal polish for $10.00 a bottle. the bottles last a long time, because a little goes a long way. trust me on this. we have a polishing and plating buisness on the side. i would also get the ds coated with a clear coat or something, unless u plan on polishing it every month or 2. salt and **** plays hell on polished aluminum. e-mail me at jlynch@mwgl.org or AIM = snype4 if u want the polish or have any other questions.

          I would say to get it clearcoated. That's the best way to keep it looking good the longest.
