Re: Please Advise... Cleaning Waketower.....

last time I bought it was at a truck stop..... type "rouge" into google and click shopping but again I think you need to find out what you have..... if your bar is clear coated you WILL RUIN the finish trying to polish it

You need to determine what type of finish is on the aluminum before you do anything, as someone said if it si anodized it won't polish and if you do break through the anodizing you will have a real job on your hands getting the entire tower to match.

Take a penny and scratch it, if it leaves a mark it isn't anodized if ti doesn't it is and all you can do is clean it and start, you aren't going to polish anodized since it is a coating on the aluminum.

2nd, be sure you want to actually polish it, few things better looking than polished aluminum BUT, you have to be able to polish everything inside and out including all the welds and it is a real pain to keep up with since it needs to be repolished fairly often to keep it looking nice unless you se the Shark Hyde.

As a general rule start with soap and water and move up from there but the more abrasive you go the more scrathes you are putting in it and the harder it will be to keep looking good since the scratches will hold dirt.
