BMW motorcycle aluminum engine is looking bad

December 13, 2009

85 BMW k100 engine, transmission and swingarm made of aluminum alloy is looking bad
pockets that hold water after a wash have brighter streaks under them and in general it just has an uneven sort of look
the finish is textured so polishing is out, seems every thing I try makes it darker and I'm running out of inconspicuous places to test, any ideas?
