The VPI Classic platter is made from raw aluminum with no coating. Has anyone attempted to polish the platter to a high luster? A friend of mine has done this with his Linn platter and I have seen other polished aluminum platters on the web, but no VPI Classics.
BRF, I have used Wenol on brass, as well. The extra benefit is that the tarnish is very slow to return, even when handling the object. I have gone a year since polishing my brass center weight and it still looks good.
Just a follow up. The whole polishing process took less than 15 minutes and only required a gentle rubbing. Just make sure that you have a good supply of micro fiber cloths as quite a bit of black tarnish is removed.
Just like how a washed and waxed car drives better, my TT sounds better with a polished platter :-)
