It took me about the same time to do half the hood. But, in the long run if I choose to polish I think this will save me time trying to get sander marks out. If, on the other hand I wind up with a scuffed finish maybe I woulda been better off with the sandpaper. ???????

I never tried to buff out something that I stripped,,,, but I recently went at my tanks with a buffer, some of the areas where really beat up from stones and stuff,, I decided to take my chances and sand them then buff, and those areas came out better with less effort. and I have very little experience with polishing aluminum.. and just using cheap buffing wheel and polish bar from harbor freight on a right angle grinder/ buffer.
Don't be afraid!

For having "very little" experience with aluminum, that's turning out mighty fine.
PeteyFixAll Thanks this. -

Similar discussions take place in forums devoted to firearms, and sometimes get heated when someone decides to sporterize an all numbers matching imported military surplus rifle.
It's your truck though, and your call to make. Enjoy.
