Restore Aluminium Floor Mats - Oscar The Grouch - 02-15-2010
This is probably a question for Kev, but open to all.
What's the best way to restore/polish my aluminium floor mats? I'm using NEVR-DULL and it seems to do a decent job.

Ya thats works great but so does Mother power metal and Alcoa Wheel polish. Use a polishing pad for best results. With metal the longer you polish the better it looks.

I bought a cheap cone shaped Buffing wheel that I mounred ro my cordless drill and used a polishing compound and they cleanded up real quick. Check Princess Auto, $5 IIRC.

Using them in the winter isn't the greatest, but what you could do once they are cleaned up is wax them with a good wax, that should keep the salt from oxidizing the aluminum too much.
Any aluminum polish and wheel should do a decent job to clean them up.

haha they don't get used up as the turbo focus has been parked since the end of November.
Thanks Kev.

Yeah I used to take mine out in the winter, then I got lazy last year and They have been in ever since. Although since I did the buff and polish last spring they have done quite well.
