I used mothers aluminum polish and the ball.. Went 2 directions for awhile.. Looked like chrome when I was done. :)

It's a lot easier then you think it is.. :) the ball takes a little getting used too.. When it really gets going, in one direction your laying down the polish and the other your "burning it off" for lack of a better term..

I did the diamond plate like a checker board in the smae directions the raised areas were facing.. Came out bitchen. It also shot metal polish all over my trailer / boat etc.. LOL So you might want to tape a drop cloth to the side of the boat.
