pilotblake Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have an old (classic) Warn/Bellevue winch and was curious if there was any secrets or tested products to get the aluminum shined back up. If all else fails rustoleum does make a decent aluminum paint that doesn't look to gaudy. Having said that I would like to just get the original metal cleaned up. Anybody have any ideas?

Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've used just a can of brakleen and a wire brush on a drill on a couple transmissions and T-cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How bad is it? If it was polished, and isn't pitted too bad, try a good aluminum polish on a ball or rag that goes in a drill. If it's pitted, a wire wheel is a start (should use brass if you can), or scotch-brite rolocks in a die grinder (use grey or blue) to take off the worst of things. I don't do a good job of polishing aluminum, it's just going to corrode again anyways. Unless you clear over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
