Aluminum gas tanks


way2evil

Question

How do I polish an aluminum gas tank? Its a 100gal tank for a Kenworth. I've tried Adams metal polish but it doesnt seem to do the job. The NY winter really did a number on the tank and it looks like s**t now. I also bought a Makita polisher and used a Blackfire pad with some metal polish (tried Adams, Blackfire, and Mothers). The blackfire removed the salt/dirt but left a lot of swirl marks and holograms. What is the correct way to clean this?

Fine steel wool and Adams metal polish to start and then a wool pad on a rotary and Adams polish...

 

That's what I'd try. I've seen some vids on youtube doing it this way and it seems to work pretty good IMO.

Prolly the best way is a high speed buffer and some rouge, and the same for the wheels.

I agree you will need a rotary and rouge. Get ready to get dirty. You will be covered in black film when you are done.

 

When I do it I usualy acid the tanks first. This will give you something clean to start with.

 

Good luck :2thumbs:
