Joe, last I checked they are aluminum. I use an aluminum paste polish usually preceded by ultra fine wet dry sandpaper to remove scratches. I have used a buffing wheel and aluminum polish compounds. Some folks go the Dremel route using the same stuff.

The heavy(red) and medium(green),,,skip the ultra fine blue,,it has no more effect.

I have used it on Commercial truck fuel tanks and alum bits, gunsmithing, modeling, ect.

Sorry Joe I thought they sold it there it's a car paint restorer
which is fairly gentle on metal hence the need for elbow grease.
There is a product for restoring soft top plastic rear windows
as well but that is so gentle you'd probably be rubbing till
the twelth of never with that stuff.

What do you use? IMAG0135

These were done with a dremel and some jewler's rouge that came with the little kit I got with the felt bobs.

For hydraulic cylinder rods and stuff on the metal lathe, I use "Autosol" metal polish - a paste the same consistency as toothpaste. A bead of that on a shop rag while the stuff is turning polishes it up pretty quickly.
