One thing to watch out for with Adam's metal polish is that it's extremely watery.  I personally wouldn't use it on anything other than a drill with an adapter.  Even then, it slings all over the place. 

 

A traditional aluminum rouge on a rotary would probably be much better suited for this application.

Whatever you do, do not use aluminum brightener on that tread it will turn it dull forever. I always used never dull when I needed to polish tread brite but you have way more than I ever polished. You might look into a polisher and some aluminum compound.

Our MP 1 & 2  will do the trick, you can use our 4" Blue Polishing pad with the SK Mini.

I don't think it's going to take much effort to make it shine like new.

Hey Chris, So I have some big polished aluminum wheels on my truck, would this work well for those too? I know the best option would be an actual grinding buff with compound but wondering for a touch up if my new SK would work like you mentioned.

Now I guess I just wait until the SK mini is back in stock. Thanks for all the advice so far, much appreciated
