Coming from someone that basically has 85% old school through my business, Briliant is the best metal polish on earth. Brand new Weld/ RC Comps wheels etc actually come out brighter.
Interesting discussion with some history of the company and products. I have a question for Mark. I picked up an aluminum truck box at an auction for a give away price. It was covered in shots with only God knows what. So to get back to the aluminum I decided to use a drill and a wire brush. Actually I was able to get a nice brushed look. So I would like to take away any occupation and deal it. What would be recommended? Also, if I wanted to go for the high polished mirror look. Could I even get there after a brushing? I would have liked to see your Harley on this video. Even just a photo would have been great. He in the good ole USA, I would send Jay Leno a sample kit of your products. You might gain an enthusiast that might lead to a mutually beneficial partnership. Jay is very well know and trusted by enthusiasts and has "one L of a collection."

Thanks for your question/feedback/advice Robert. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think to add a shot of Mark's bike. Apologies! I have sent Mark a message so he knows your comment is here. All the best. Alex
Hi Robert, thanks for the questions. If you're looking to keep the brushed effect and remove the oxidation and seal the box, then continue to either wire brush it or better yet, run a scotch brite wheel over the box. The difficult part is sealing the box without using the likes of a ceramic coat. ceramic coatings are generally very hard and would possibly chip easily being a tool box. This would allow oxygen to once again get to the suface and start the oxidation process all over. If you wanted to bring it to a mirror finish, then use a random orbital sander with wet / dry sandpaper. Start at about 800 grit and use a quick detailing spray as a lubricant. work your way up to about 2000 grit and use some of our Aluminum & Stainless Polish as the lubricant. This will start the shine process. (You can do this with our polish as it won't burn at any speed and has amazing lubricating properties). Then use either a lambswool or foam pad with our polish to buff the box, It won't be easy, but the results will be stunning. The shine can then be maintained with the occasional quick polish. I would add a photo of my Harley here, but I don't think it's possible. Also, unfortunately Jay has his own brand of polishes on the market otherwise I'd love to send him some. Maybe someday soon I can hire you to sell our polishes in the USA !!!! Cheers, Mark (Bendigo, Australia)
