(06-12-2012, 11:48 AM)Simpler=Better You need to get a nice fuzzy polishing tool, HF has them cheap.
Then you need to get your hands on some Mother's Aluminum Polish-it's in a tub and kinda like a thick jelly. The HF polishing kit is for rough metal to a shiny finish.
I've also heard good things about " Nev'r Dull " polish. If you use chrome polish on aluminum, or vice versa, it's going to take 10 years and might not look that great. The mothers will impress you, believe me.
Thanks on the input, I thought it was chrome and I was going about it the wrong way.
I was reading up on other forums that some people remove the clear coat by wet sanding or using chemicals should I try this or use this as a last resort?,
also Can I find this stuff at most auto parts stores?
