cleaning brushed alluminum

#1 Unread post by mikepotter86 »

I have recently purchased a 1982 yamaha xj650, the chrome is cleaning up really nice but ii was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to clean up the brushed alluminum well. this is my first bike and I am doing all the restoration work myself, seeing as its older than me... It needs lots of TLC, any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Mike

A dremel and polishing compound can do wonders.
