Hi everyone. Do you know if it's possible to polish 6061 aluminum to a mirror finish? I'm trying to make a pendant. I've tried sanding in circles, sanding with the grain, and cross-sanding. I've sanded all the way up to 2000-grit. I always make sure to thoroughly clean both the piece and the sandpaper before sanding. I've polished both by hand and with a bench polisher. I've used Dialux Orange, Tripoli, and white polishing compounds, but none of them remove the 2000-grit sanding marks (using the bench polisher). Nothing has worked for me. Even though the scratches are parallel, they are still far too visible. I'm starting to think a mirror finish on aluminum isn't achievable. Should I try BlueMagic or some kind of car polish?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Alguien tuvo la oportunidad de asistir a los juegos del mundial juvenil de Baseball 5 que se realizó en La Loma hace casi un año? Si es así, qué experiencia tuvieron? Les pareció un buen evento deportivo? Qué impresión creen que se hayan llevado los chicos extranjeros de nuestra ciudad?

Personalmente, creo que turísticamente se desaprovechó mucho esta oportunidad única en Tepic.

Gracias de antemano por sus comentarios.
