Default So I got bored last night and polished my bottle opener
Alcohol may or may not have been a contributing factor in this....

I was using my Budweiser bottle opener last night to open a Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat and noticed how horrible it looked. I told the wife that I needed to polish it. She shook her head and said no. I looked at my friend who was over and said, Oh yes, this is happening.

I gather up my Mothers Mag/Aluminum polish, some 0000 steel wool, Adam's Metal Polish #1 & #2 and went to town.

This is what I started with. I was ashamed to have it in my house looking that way.



After some mad polishing this is what I ended up with.




I think I might need professional help.

I have no idea where I picked it up at. I've had it for years.

You don't need professional help, just a better choice of beer and more sandpaper

Mothers mag/aluminum polish w/ 0000 steel wool, Adam's Metal Polish 1&2 with a decent microfiber. This is pretty much my go to products on metal that's in bad shape; stainless, aluminum.

Thanks Nick. I love your Metal Polishes. It could have spent more time on it but my ADD is real bad after I've had a few.

I just picked up some of your car shampoo. I will be testing it out this weekend.
