Hi Folks, I inherited my Dad's rv8 a few years and have been slowly returning it to its former glory. At one point the airplane was nicely polished, but it didn't get touched for many years. The plane has developed some surface corrosion. Nothing major, but white dime size spots (almost like stains). Maybe 1 or 2 per sq ft.
Last winter I took at shot at polishing it with nuvite IIc. Used a harbor freight DA polisher and followed nuvites instructions. It brightened up the metal but didn't touch the white spots. Any suggestions on cleaning up that corrosion?
I don't have time to do a ton of polishing and I don't strive to get a show quality shine. In fact I'll probably paint it at some point. I just want the corrosion to be gone and the plane not look like an eyesore.
