Theres certain acids you can use on aluminums to make them look perfectly clean and new. My brother used to work a a detailing shop and bring some home. As sson as it touched raw aluminum it would fizz up and then you jsut rinse it off. it worked amazing. dunno what its call though and where you can get it
