Getyourshineon Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 What I got going on is I was asked to help restore and polish the diamond plate on a firetruck that was part of an arson fire at a local fire department. I was curious if anyone has tackled this before and if so, which product works the best. Thank you for any insight.

Thank you for any insight. a lot would depend on the amount of burn the alum has .dp is hard to polish to a nice shine though a 3/4 sticth wheel and red jewelers rouge and a good low speed grinder will help a lot. show us a picture Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47565-polishing-aluminum-diamond-plate/#findComment-350896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

609albert Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I hope it wasn't the chromed type diamond plate (it would be harder to do). I would try a small area using a Brillo pad (has soap in it to lube area)if it is just regular alum. dp.
