Have you ever heard of someone toting a bucket full of flour along with them on a big polishing job?
Wait until you get to polishing the aluminum on these big rigs. The amount of black polishing residue can be astonishingly hard to remove on a lot of the metal surfaces. You'll wipe and wipe and wipe, you'll find that a lot of times you'll just be moving black from one spot to another.
When you encounter this, you'll want to break out your bucket full of flour, take a dry microfiber or cotton T-shirt type of towel, (have both with you) smash it down into the dry flour, flip it over and smash it down in the flour again, shake the excess flour off the towel and wipe the still wet black polishing residue off with this flour coated towel. It magically removes the black residue better than any amount wiping with a normal towel. I am not kidding at all on this. Even if you don't use it, grab a bucket with a lid, pour at least a small bag of flour into it and take it along with you. A $5 investment here can save you hundreds of dollars in time on one of these big jobs where there's a lot of aluminum and paint side by side especially. You'll want your bucket of flour with you when doing an aluminum polishing job of any sort or size. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
