aluminium finish.

[G_Yog]

Anyone know a good way to give aluminium sheet metal back its original finish.. I dont want a too shiny (polished) finish and neither a brushed finish. But something in between.. I have tried wet sanding with wery fine paper, but I can't get the nice blu'ish, shinish finish that it has as original. Like in the picture. Any Ideas?

Uuummmm, try rubbing it out with a white polishing pad, then rub it down with some muratic acid, it will dull it back out enough....but try it on a small piece first as every single one I've down has turned out different.

Try WD-40 & scotchbright with the grain
