I received "Double AA" host
yesterday and I have to say it looks and feels really nice.
-I was a bit suprised how light host was.. I've been using tooling aluminum (AlCuMgPb) which is much heavier.
I polished all host parts with Buffing wheels / Felt Dishes
(with small amount polishing compound bar)
Then I washed polishing compound residues away and left part to dry for a while.
After spreading wax, I left parts / wax to dry for an 1 hour.
-After wax layer is dry, you can make final polishing with soft cotton towel.
Beeswax & Carnauba Wax coating prevents aluminum oxidation and keeps host surface shiny & glossy.
-Always remember that, Wax treatment should be done regularly.
You can find Beeswax & Carnauba Wax probably from every hardware store.
I recommend to look for low Viscosity / liquid wax, it will make your wax treatment a lot easier.
And this surface treatment is 100% natural & Non-toxic
NOTE!
-DO NOT USE Beeswax & Carnauba Wax to Brass or Copper parts!!
