I have a triple v from kalamazoo vapor shop and a silver bullet and was wondering what i should use to polish it? My triple v has become badly oxidized on the back of it. Im wanting to get that original shine it had when i first got it. Ive tired brasso and all it really did was scratch it up and the oxidation is still there. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use and how to use it?
What do you use to polish aluminum mods??

Aluminum can be very tricky to polish depending on the composition of the alloy. If it is a high aluminum content and very soft I use a heavy cotton fabric like denim with one or two drops of very light oil to lift oxidation and remove minor scratches then a dry microfiber cloth to buff it, with no polishing compounds at all. You can run soft wax into the aluminum and buff again to give it a bit of oxidation resistance for a short time but handling will wear it away quickly.
Thank you cbb for the input. I guess i will give your method a try since the brasso i used didnt work. What kind of oil should i use on it?
Innovapor sent me a "cape cod metal polishing cloth" with my Apex Ultra mod that works wonders on aluminum. They are available all over the web, just Google it. Works amazing - makes it look brand new again - and one cloth will last you a very long time.
