- 1). Scrub the plating thoroughly with steel wool. Try to get all residue and buildup off the metal. Take extra care to scrub out cracks and crevices.
- 2). Soak the surface with a lime-cleaning agent. Then use an abrasive sponge to scrub off any remaining residue. This should also help bring up any stains that are set into the aluminum.
- 3). Wash the plating with soap and water to remove remaining chemical and particles. This will also prep the surface to receive the polish.
- 4). Coat the surface with Mothers aluminum polish. Use a microfiber rag to rub it in. Work slowly and allow the polish to set up on the surface. Also, work with small areas at a time for a smoother polish and a more even coat.
- 5). Apply a coat of Mothers aluminum wax to the plating once the polish has fully dried. Be very careful when doing this and use extremely small amounts of wax at a time. To prevent spotting and streaking and keep the wax from building up on the texture edges, keep the wax layer as thin as possible. Rub out any streaks that begin forming.
- 6). Give the wax up to an hour to set up before handling.
