    Polishing aluminum emblems??

    Hi!

    Anyone have some tips or tricks to pass along on how to remove scratches from aluminum (pot metal?) Suzuki emblems? I have a pair of older Suzuki "S" emblems I want to use on a project and they both have some fine scratches on them. What's the best method to either get the scratches out or reduce them some?

    Thanks,

    Jim

    Depends on how deep. Use various grades of rubbing compound to polish them

      I would suggest the polishing compound instead of the rubbing compound.
      rubbing comp has very harsh abrasives for starting the smooting of paint rather than finnessing it.

        I used some Mothers Aluminum polish on my left engine decal and it promptly removed the TSCC. The same can happen when polishing the wheels. In my opinion it is better to replace the decals considering the hours of menial labour you'll save by not polishing them.

        Cheers, Steve
