Smaller aluminum pieces can definitely be done by hand with sandpaper and a little elbow grease, but when you get into bigger projects, you’ll want to use an abrasive with a power tool. You don’t want to rush this process, but you also don’t want to spend hours and all of your energy sanding by hand. The best option for speeding up the sanding process would be to use an orbital sander with PSA discs or an angle grinder with an aluminum grinding flap disc. Make sure to always use a different buffing wheel with each abrasive compound. Mixing the compound on your wheel defeats the purpose of moving down to a finer abrasive with each step. You can however reuse a buffing wheel in the future as long as you use the same compound on it each time. Just like sanding, you’ll want to start with the coarsest abrasive and work your way down.

This should usually get you the mirror finish you want, but for those of you with perfectionist tendencies, you can finish up with a green rouge compound bar to get the best aluminum shine possible.Ease of Use: Aluminum polishes come in a variety of textures, and some are easier to apply than others.
