Whats the best/fastest stuff to polish an aluminum driveshaft? Thank U

 

if you had access to a lathe i'd chuck it up and use emeroy paper. most likely you don't have a lathe so i'd use a scotch brite pad on a die grinder.

I'm with Rare-roc, Mothers is the best for polishing. Don't use a rag to put it on. I have always got the best shine using my hand. It's the only thing I use on the semi and the aluminum on the tow trucks. After you get the shine you want use the mothers wax to seal it and help the road grime come off when you wash the undercarriage.

 

If it's real grungy you could start with red scotchbrite, then goto green, then use meguires diamond cut on a wool pad to polish it to a mirror.

 

Just out of curiousity, why do you want to polish your driveshaft? Do you have a lot of people look under your car? Just curious, that's all.

Lexus has alum driveshafts, so maybe....

 

Its for my iroc and I wanted to see how nice it would look if I polished it. To much free time I guess. Thanks for the info guys.
