As the topic suggests, is there a way to remove fine scratches on anodized aluminum? I have tried using toothpaste but the effect is not desirable.

QUOTE(sepulgilo @ Oct 11 2008, 02:08 PM) yes usually use to wax car But rubbing compound is corrosive. Will it remove the original brushed texture of the anodized aluminum? |

QUOTE(rudhrasamy @ Oct 14 2008, 10:08 PM) 4000 grit sand paper will give good result... if you cant handle brasso or autosol very well u can go for toothpaste. As i have stated before, toothpaste doesn't work. I'll try to vitasol this weekend. Will post up the result if it's effective.This post has been edited by hypermax: Oct 16 2008, 06:07 PM |

Ok, just tried vitasol, and it works!!! Scratches are gone now.
However, a piece of advice, don't rub too many times if not the anodized layer will be eroded. |
