Cleaning Brushed aluminum stove top

Dear Sirs:

I have a brushed aluminum stove top (not stainless steel) and I can't get it clean and the scratches off. Do you have any suggestions for my problem?

Hi, Ruth. I've never experienced any joy in trying to clean aluminum with any aluminum cleaner. If you have a grinder, or at least an electric drill, you can try putting a buffing pad in it and see if you can make any progress with a polish like Mother's Aluminum Polish [linked by editor to product info at Amazon]. Good luck.
