LOL!! I think he was thinking NSX

Also, Don't forget that aluminum oxidize.. I'm guessing he already knew since he's polishing the hood.

Aluminum alloy contains steel, which is made from iron...

In any case, you're just polishing the clearcoat, right? Don't polish too much, particularly on top where clearcoat fades the most.

No, if he had meant that, he would have said "buff" I would think. He spoke specifically of polishing aluminum parts. I actually think that he wants to take his hood to bare metal and shine it up.

Well it says he's a rotary mechanic, so he must know what he's talking about...

Well I've noticed that everyone calling themselves a mechanic knows EXACTLY what they're talking about.
