A few weeks ago I watched a short video on the EAA web site giving a demonstration of polishing aluminum with Nuvite. Given the current status of my plane I decided to try this process. The goup and buffing wheels arrived yesterday.

Here is the result of my first attempt to use this process. I spent maybe 10 minutes on an area about 1 foot square with just the heavy grit F9 polish. I am sure a little practice and the added skill will make this amount of work take a lot less time. I can't imagine how nice it will look with the final "C" grade polish.

With my plane moved to the airport I don't have a good place to spray paint. Polishing is a benign enough process that it can be done anywhere. No ventilation or special safety considerations required.
