Polishing NiBrAl

[Blackntan90]

Has anyone tried to polish up a nibral part, say a strut or the tracking fins, maybe the prop? Last year when I replaced my strut bearings I took the driveshaft out and polished it and it looks great, now everything else looks dull.

why? it will just dull again and it's all under the boat.

you've got too much time on your hands :)

Salty, you just made me laugh out loud!! Maybe I do have some extra time on my hands, but I just want it to look killer for the summer! I also have some clear-coat for metals that I use around the boat and it works really well! Thank you for your input on this- I do appreciate any and all replies on this matter!

I hit a rock and damaged my prop some years ago. A friend of mine worked at a prop shop
After he repaired the prop he buffed it to a mirror finish. I didnt notice any improvement or
negatives in performance. It sure looked nice.

wet sand it first with 400 grit then buff with a finishing compound. I suggest 3M they are the best!! I just waxed mine and it is holding up great!!

:cool:
