How to Remove Pits From Aluminum Auto Trim

Aluminum trim on cars can endure for a long time, giving your car a shiny and smooth line of metal. However, aluminum trim can oxidize and develop pits over time, and its important that you repair these pits as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading. All that you need is some sandpaper and a good polisher, and you should be ready to go.

Instructions

1

Remove the aluminum trim from your car. Make sure that youre careful with it and that you set it down in an area thats open and clear.

2

Sand off the anodized coating on the aluminum trim. Not all trim will have this coating, and if it doesnt then you can proceed directly to the next step.

3

Polish the aluminum trim. Apply the aluminum polish to the aluminum trim in a thin layer. If the pits are deeper, then you should polish them out with an automatic grinder. If the pits arent as deep, then you can polish them out by hand using a smooth cloth. Rub in smooth strokes pushing down hard enough to keep pressure but not hard enough to bend the trim. Continue polishing until youve rubbed out the pits.

4

Apply a new coating of sealant over the aluminum trim. This is optional, but it will help protect the aluminum from the elements.
