After you’ve cleaned your aluminium frames, it is time to put a shine on your metal surface! Fine steel wool and a lot of water will do the trick – but bear in mind that the complete polishing process will be a time-consuming one.

Also don’t forget that if your aluminium has been exposed to the elements for a long time, it will start to anodise – this is a similar process to iron rusting and means that oxides will start to build up on the surface of your frames, making them dull and very hard to polish effectively. If you suspect that your aluminium has begun to anodise, consider contacting a professional aluminium cleaning professional to remove the build-up of oxide.
