1966 FORD F-350
2004 FORD F150Alright guys, I need some ideas on what to use to polish my diamond plate toolbox. I bought it off Craigslist about two weeks ago and I want to get it to really shine, its fairly clean.....he'd taken care of it, but there's still some road grime on it. I tried Meguiers Chrome Polish, and some Turtle Wax rubbing compound, both worked somewhat, but still didn't get all the stuff off even wish some really hard work. Thanks guys!

Man ill b honest. I polished and polished and polished. Well leme tell ya. I got tired of polishing. I plasti dipped my tool box. Black. To match my Ryno liner. Best thing I ever did. But a good aluminum polish and mayb an orbital polisher or some elbow grease and it should look good

I really want to get it powder coated black....but I don't have the money to do it right now. I work on a farm, and am always out on dirt roads, so keeping my truck clean is kinda a joke, let alone my toolbox. I tried my Meguiers again last night, really didn't work that great......maybe ill try that Mothers!
