Dennis,
Here is what I've used with good results.
Novus Plastic polish #1 cleans and protects
Novus Plastic polish #2 restores and refinishes (removes fine scratches)
Novus Plastic polish #3 removes heavy scratches (aggressive polish)
Available from Aircraft Spruce.

| Subject: | Painting Ailerons with Polytone |
I'm getting ready to put the color coat on the flaps and ailerons, and wondering
what to do with aluminum torque tubes. The PolyFiber manual says Polytone may
or may not stick to aluminum. If I prime the aluminum tubes and then spray
with polytone will that work? How have others handled this part of the painting?
Thanks.

Mark, I covered the tubes with fabric & Painted them too with the whole
process, & it made the fabric gap seals seem like it was all just a part of
the wing. Polytone will NOT stick to aluminum. I`m sure , though, that if
you primed the tubes with epoxy primer, then sprayed polytone on top of
tacky primer, you would also be happy with the results.

My Firestar has Polytone over zinc chromate and both are peeling like a bad
sunburn. My Mk III has polytone over bare aluminum with Aerothane over that.
Just learned the hard way yesterday that it isn't sticking either. I didn't
build either one but I've had very good luck painting aluminum parts when
they are acid etched and alodined first. Just don't leave the parts in the
alodine solution too long or a powdery residue can give adhesion problems,
too. For some great ideas on alodining large parts go to the EAA Chapter
1000 website.
