Default OSH ...aluminum needs polishing. HELP!!

The GREEN (aluminum) parts need polishing.

What's a good 1-2-3-4-5.... step process for polishing up the aluminum
wings - for OSH?


1. Time
2. Nuvite - it comes in several 'grades' - start with the coarse grades
to get the tarnish off, then finish off with the finest grade. We used
to get a perfect mirror finish on our old C140 with this.
3. Time
4. Yet more time

To do a proper polishing job on our C140 (which was only partly polished
- lower fuselage, tail and flaps - the rest was painted) would take
around 10 hours. Just for this very small plane. And it was already
pretty shiny when we started.
