True story.

We had a Air Force General who wanted his personal aircraft to be
polished aluminum so got a crew and they took all the paint off and
polished bird up until it shined.

Really looked snazzy.

All the time bird was home in hanger there was a crew who polished it
every day to keep shiny.

After the General left the polish crew was pulled and in a short while
the aluminum corroded and bird had to be Class 26'd (junked).

So. If you want to keep polishing all the time then go ahead and
polish the alclad off and the bare aluminum will corrode away.

It's like a wooden boat where you have to keep working on the wood to
keep it afloat.

And the pointy end goes forward )

The GREEN (aluminum) parts need polishing.

What's a good 1-2-3-4-5.... step process for polishing up the aluminum
wings - for OSH?

Thanks in advance.
