Question: polish aluminum?

I'm trying to figure out about getting one side of a 24ft aluminum trailer polished into looking like a mirror.

Can aluminum get all shiny and polished like a mirror if it has scratches on it? They aren't deep scratches but, more like scratches from, lets say, sandpaper.

Answer: Though deeper scratches might not come out it could still be polished. I've seen semi truck trailers and airplanes polished.
There are many resources on the internet like this one:

You basically start with a coarse polish to smooth the metal and take out scratches then work to finer and finer polishes. There's also a sealer that can be applied so it doesn't oxidize as quickly.

Question: Does dial liquid soap get rid of acne???

I have been stuck with acne since 5th grade my mom told me that if i use liquid antibacterial dial soap will get it off i have benn using it for a week i see a little bit of results i'm not sure if it will work..

Answer: Dial antibacterial hand soap is far too harsh for use on your face. This will actually cause more breakouts. Your mom is right that acne is caused by bacteria, but that kind of cleanser will not kill it without damaging your skin.

Also, stay away from ProActiv -- it destroys your skin. Toothpaste is also overdrying, and you should never go out in the sun without sunscreen!

You can go to a dermatologist, but before you go for prescription drugs, here's a list of things you can try:
1. There are a lot of cheap but excellent gentle facial cleansers out there. Try Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin ($3.79), Olay Sensitive Skin Foaming Face Wash ($3.99), or Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin ($5.99). Wash your face once in the morning and once at night, but don't scrub or pull at the skin.
2. Toners are good for all skin types. The cheapest good one there is seems to be Beauty Without Cruelty Balancing Facial Toner for All Skin Types ($7.95), but it is only sold in health food stores. In general, though, toners are expensive. Do NOT buy toners with alcohol, oils, or witchhazel, as these will dry your skin.
3. For the blemishes, you'll need a Benzoyl peroxide product. Now, here's the catch: cheaper products come in 10% concentrations, which may be too harsh for you, and there are more expensive 2.5% and 5% concentrations. I would strongly advise trying Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment Vanishing Formula 2.5% ($6.75) before moving onto the stronger Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength ($3.49).
4. You also need a BHA solution. BHA gently (important word, here) exfoliates your skin's surface and the inside of your pores. The cheapest one I know of (with no irritating ingredients) is Clearasil Acne Fighting Facial Moisturizers ($3.99).

Good luck! Remember, if this doesn't work, you can always get a prescription for something stronger.

Nameplates can be of different materials depending on conditions, they have to resist. The plates bearing the name Industrial need to survive industrial solvents, chemicals and many other physical abrasions such as water rain, corrosion, heat or sun exposure, etc. Therefore, the sustainability of name tags should be the first thing to take into consideration when selecting material. You can use metals, non-metals, plastics and alloys such as stainless steel, brass and bronze according to industrial specifications. Silver anodized aluminum is considered the best; sign marks or logos engraved to last long. And Lexan polycarbonate sheets are also cheap. For printing all the processes like die-casting, etching, screen printing etc. can be used.

Sustainable industrial blocks are the result of proper selection of materials and effective treatment.
