What do you do when you notice that your bare aluminum aircraft might be oxidizing just a little bit?

Break out the buffing compound and some friends.

At least they were using power tools to polish it, not like me when I had to hand polish a RAF Hunter that was taking part in a display the following weekend. That was way back in the early 70's and I was on a week long camp with the Air Training Corps at RAF Chivenor. Our squadron was tasked with the job of getting her all spick and span and about 20 teenage 'erks' spent the day crawling all over, under and around her. She did look sharp when she was done though.

I'm having flashbacks of me polishing the leading edges on Biz-jets... (Shudder)
