I have a 68 F100 with a real bad tarnished grill. Is there any way of polishing it. I have tried turtle wax and other things as well but they dont seem to work. Any advice is greatly needed!

 

sup pimp.

Tell your dad to ask that tommy that when he calls him.

 

yeah ill have to call him and remind him to ask

 

Your grill has been anodized, this is an electric process that is like clear coat. It can be removed with caustic agents like Red Devil Lye or specialty products.

Once the anodizing is removed you can polish the metal. You might want to Google "anodizing" and read up on it first. You will need a buffer to polish with, it can't be done by hand.

if u cant do it by hand then how will i do it? i do have a buffer buy im confused do i have to strip that anodized material off of it?

 

I think if you will Google anodizing and read up on it a little, you would have a much better understanding of what you are dealing with.

Better than I can splain anyways.

thanks a lot bc i can tell you ive tried so much and when i get done it looks the exact same.

 

I wondered about that, not able to polish up the old grill now I know.

 

??? i dont know but would a scotch brite pad work ????

that will not scare the metal but it will polish it

 

Give it a try, but I suspect you will be looking for a dip before long. The anodizing is pretty tuff to remove.

I thought when things get anodized it is "all the way through" the metal not just a coating on the oustide. or are there different types?
