Frequently Asked Questions

Can you polish aluminum parts?

FAQ
We prefer to avoid aluminum polishing since there needs to be some type of finish on aluminum, either anodizing or chrome, in order to ensure a long life to the part. We can polish only single, small aluminum parts. Absolutely no grills or wheels!! Having noted this, we can polish small aluminum parts to a high aluminum luster but they then need to be clear coated to remain that way. See similar questions...

Once polished, can I seal the aluminum to keep the polish?

Frequently Asked Questions
There seems to be three camps on this subject. One thought is to use a wax sealer, such as Eagle 1 ("waxes as you dry”). Another is to do a light touch-up polish every couple of years, and the other is use a wipe on/wipe off sealing polish, such as the one available from Rolite. All methods have their supporters.

Can aluminum parts be processed?

Top-Gun Enterprises, Inc.
Yes. Even though we can not provide the durability and adhesion that we can provide on carbon steel parts, we can apply the polymer coating to the parts after they have been blasted, cleaned and alodined.

Is it difficult to polish my own stainless steel or aluminum skins?

Untitled Document
There are two types of skins on passenger: aluminum extruded skins with an anodized finish, and heavy gauge stainless steel in a brush finish or polished finish with ribs. The aluminum extrusion with an anodized finish cannot be polished. The anodized coating is designed to be a matte finish and cannot be changed. Many have tried, but to do any changes, you're only left to painting the surface. On stainless steel skins, you're dealing with a metal that is built of nickel and other alloys.

WHAT IS A BUFF AND POLISH?

Frequently Asked Questions Nail Care by Cindy - North Ogden
A buff and polish is a procedure that is often done between fills. Your nail technician/manicurist will buff the out growth of the nail product, near the cuticle area, making it blend with your natural nail. Nails are then re-polished. This is a service that is less expensive than a nail fill, and allows you to go longer between fills. Top of page See similar questions...

WHAT IS A POLISH CHANGE?

Will tools for zinc parts last longer than tools for aluminum?

Frequently Asked Questions - Fielding Mfg. - Manufacturers o...
Zinc is a heavier, denser material than aluminum, but there is a big advantage to it if your application can tolerate the weight. That is, zinc casts below the tempering point of die steel, so a zinc die cast tool can be good for 5 million shots plus. A typical aluminum tool will run about 150K shots before it starts showing signs of heat checking, or the orange peel effect, as it becomes annealed. See similar questions...

What's the best tool/way to fabricate small extruded aluminum parts?

FAQ
Your best bet here is a small bandsaw, head down to Harbor Freight or Princess Auto and pick up a cheap bandsaw.

All aluminum rings out in a very unique way. It almost has a natural chorus to it. For as many highs it adds, it adds as many lows and mids. It does what wood does but only better in my opinion. See similar questions...

CAN I CHANGE NAIL POLISH BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS?

Frequently Asked Questions Nail Care by Cindy - North Ogden
The wonderful benefit of nail enhancements is that you can wear nail polish with no polish chipping or peeling that often occurs on natural nails. However, the more you change polish color, the more apt you are to have "softening" of the nail product. When removing polish, you are using an acetone based polish remover. The acetone in the polish remover is the product we use most often to remove the nail enhancements from your natural nail. See similar questions...
