Restoring Trim
Hi , what is the recommended process for removing anodize from original aluminum trim that won’t eat the aluminum so it can be polished. ??
Thanks Rob |

Last time I did it I used Drano crystals I got at the box store, HD oven cleaner my still work as well . Keep an eye on it and don't leave it overnight
Also check out the videos on you tube, that my be helpful too. I did the rear panel moldings on my 69 Chevelle and cleared them and polished the clear. Mike |

HD oven cleaner and some 0000 steel wool then tap the dents out, file sand and polish.
They will oxidize fairly quickly if you don't re-anodize them- OR maybe clear powder coat, GUESS you could use catalyzed clear coat/however if it chips or scratches it will tarnish.

you can buy a powder to mix with water. Eastwood used to sell it. I didn't have good luck with oven cleaner.

Might try this:
