Rustic Aluminum? Do you have to polish like silver?

No, just a wash and dry using a mild liquid, such as Palmolive or Dawn. Dry with a clean, soft, absorbent cloth.Do not use a dishwasher soap such as Cascade. There are components of these products which will discolor and corrode aluminum.

I would not polish these. Dish soap and water to clean and towel dry. Buff with microfiber cloth removing any smudges. Store away from moisture and you should be good to go.

I have never polished them. They have never tarnished. I have really enjoyed these cake stands. We use them for our catering all the time. They present very well, I think you will enjoy them!!

it looks like a satin silver finish, I wouldn't say non reflective but I wouldn't reflective either

No - If using on bare aluminum it will require wash down with a suitable solvent, then prime and use R/O above or below water line paint - 2 coats.

No, we don't offer this service....but its in raw aluminum form right now and can be powder coated, anodized , or painted fairly easily if you can find someone local to do it for you.

Yes, but a matte finish, not any kind of gloss. The real trouble I encountered was in the assembly. You essentially build two halves, but getting and keeping them together goes way beyond the instructions.

Im not sure. I have polished aluminum. It turned it a dull white at first , but a day on the water they looked better than the day i bought my pontoons. I have a sun 5tacker party barge.

No it is a thin rough feeling wood. They look awesome if they're up against a wall for nightstands. The silver parts that are not mirror are a painted wood also, but until you feel it you would think its metal.

Any of the polishes inclucing semichrome, which work on medal should do the job. Auto parts stores do have chrome polish. If the chrome is not on a high value surface, 0000 steelwool or bronzewool will do the trick also. Bronze wool is more expensive but will not leave residue which rusts.

Looks more like a dull chrome yeah silver color but anything like a brushed or polished nickel. I think it's made of a zinc Alloy. But the of work well and look good!!!

There are a lot of "inlaid" type mirrors with a lot of raised edges where the wood and the mirrors meet. After sanding and taping, I suppose it could be done but it would be VERY tedious and, not knowing the quality of the wood under the silver paint, once sanded, it might not look like you want.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

You can paint it, not sure if you mix it in it will do what you are wanting, generally all silver and gold are painted on. Make sure to use vodka as the wet, so it will dry fast. don't mix with water

It's fairly shiny, however not to a degree that chrome would be. Just a basic metal polish as you might see on steel kitchenware.

My understanding is that most shiny brass you buy these days comes with a lacquer finish to preserve the look while items sit in inventory. On my hooks I was able to remove the shine with fine sandpaper (I didn't want to use chemicals on the felt that would be resting on the firearm). I used 220 grit and it took me less than 5 minutes. It took off the shine and left the color with a very subtle "brushed" look. I like the look next to my 1860s percussion shotgun. Supposedly with the lacquer removed the brass will also develop a nice weathered "patina" after a few years.

A better method of cleaning tarnished silver, involves dissolving baking soda in hot boiling water, then immersing a sheet of aluminium foil into the heated mixture and then dipping tarnished silverware into solution making sure it makes contact with the foil. Tarnish should vanish immediately. No ultrasonic cleaner necessary. No buffing or abrasives needed. Just set it and forget it. Its that easy! LOL

Aluminum should be OK. Google the others. I use rubbing alcohol be for painting most surfaces.
