How Do You Polish Pot Metal?

[Len Woodruff]

I need to polish some pot metal what do I use to do that??

[Jairus]

I used a stick of rouge and a polishing wheel on my Hubley radiator grill and it polished up pretty nice. Not chrome... but pretty good. you could also use silver polish and a soft cloth. Silver polish can be found at most any grocery store or Walgreens as it is used to keep the good Silver shiny!

So is that different than the Mothers Polish I use to polish aluminum?

Probably a finer grit since aluminum is softer than silver. But it should work... just take longer! No worries about trying it eh?
