hagerty....polishing one of the diamond plate boxes is one of the worst jobs for a couple of reasons.
1. it's a very messy/dirty job
as you polish it...everything, including you gets black
2.in order to do it right...it's very time consuming.

The only real way to polish one of these is with a variable speed buffer, compound and a wool pad.

You can try one of those mag wheel polishing balls you hook up to a drill, but you'll be there a month of sundays and it'll look like a dogs breakfast when you're done...

Do not however try to spray any chemicals labeled as an aluminum brightener or diamond plate restorer. They are only going to burn it white.

If you want it shiney...gotta buff it with high speed.

Hope this helps and good luck

As always, let me know how it worked out for you.

Oh yeah...if you are going to leave it on the ruck when you polish it...make sure you paper and tape off the surrounding are from splatter.
