It is a good option if you have a small piece of aluminum that needs polishing or want to avoid using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/best-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> power tools<\/a>. Hand polishing is most effective for aluminum that is already in good condition &#8211; if your aluminum is very dirty or has a lot of scratches, you will probably want to use one of the other methods described below.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dual-action-polisher\"><strong>Dual Action Polisher<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The second way to polish it is to use a dual-action polisher. It is a powerful tool that will speed up the polishing process and is ideal for larger aluminum surfaces. Dual action polishers work best with a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" title=\"polishing pad\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/diamond-polishing-pad.html\">polishing pad<\/a> and polish. This method can quickly polish large aluminum surfaces such as boat hulls and trailer fenders.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rotary-polishing\"><strong>Rotary Polishing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A rotary polisher is slightly different from a dual-action polisher &#8211; it has a spinning head that does most of the work for you. It makes it the quickest and easiest way to polish aluminum, but it&#8217;s also the most expensive option. A rotary polisher is best used when you have a hefty aluminum surface that needs to be polished quickly, giving you the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Aluminum sheet metal.\" class=\"wp-image-6781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Aluminum sheet metal.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prepare-well-before-you-polish-aluminum\">Prepare Well Before You Polish Aluminum<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Washing aluminum.\" class=\"wp-image-6780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Washing aluminum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before polishing, you should start with safety equipment such as a full-face respirator, safety flanges, and masking tape.
