Did not have any Nuvite so I bought some 10 oz cans of Mothers aluminum Polish for $7.95 at Walmart. Stuff works as well as the Nuvite I used on my last polished C-140A and sure is cheaper than the $47.50 Nuvite.

Re: Mothers Aluminum Polish
Very nice. Each spring, the Yankee Air Museum invites local families, scout troops, etc., to a "polishing party" at the Willow Run Airport. Mother's supplies the polish and the rags free of charge. I just couldn't resist this chance to show off the Yankee Lady B-17G. Flew her to Suffolk VA this past weekend to do some aerial photo shoots for a movie called "Wolfhound." Our next event is on the 23rd of June "Wings and Wheels" Come join us with your Cessna 120/140 or other vintage aircraft. KYIP Starts at 1000, but come earlier to put your airplane on display. Thunder over Michigan is 3-4 Aug.
PM me for further info.

Re: Mothers Aluminum Polish
Your aluminum looks great!! Did you use a Cyclo polisher?
I've owned my 120 for 3+ years and am still searching for the best polishing techniques.

Re: Mothers Aluminum Polish
For the Yankee Lady, we don't use anything but "elbow grease" and the polish that Mother's sends us. Thanks for asking.
