Polish/buffing aluminium

I have a motorcycle with a dull, rough aluminium finish and I would like to polish these parts. What is the best method of producing a high gloss and maintaining that finish?

Hi,

I have the same problem with greyed out aluminum parts on my motorcycle. What solution did you find? What worked for you?

Thanks for responding quickly.

Hi, gentlemen. letters 800, 1831, and 10917 go into substantial detail about aluminum polishing. Good luck!
