Polishing zinc coated billet aluminum ???? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Sgreg · 06-18-2010

Polished my a-- off on some aluminum wheel centers only to realize they are zinc coated and won't polish until the zinc is removed. I want to put a mirror polish on them to match the wheel rims. What is the best way to cut the zinc coat to get to the aluminum ??? Anyone done this ?? Thanks for the help. I hate to just grind them down and have to polish out deep swirls.
