[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 107013, member: 1931"] I had a customer that wanted me to polish his up and make it shine. I started with an aluminum cleaner (acid type) and it ended up streaking ( even though the product swore it wouldn't) I worked on it a bunch and finally got it somewhat clean. Then I took our buffing compound and buffed a small section. It was real shiny and looked pretty good. I can tell you that in this case the faded aluminum was much cooler than the polished. I used a laser thermometer and there was a hare over 10 degrees difference. Here in Texas that is a big deal. It was a ton of work to do it and I would imagine it would be a pain to keep it that way. Plus every scratch and dent showed up even better so that was a big problem too. [/QUOTE]
