I`m doing a test at the moment.
Just boiling some water now, and will add some citric acid and detergent.
I have been told that makes aluminium shine.

Lets see if it works  Smiley

ditto on the white diamond.
i've tried lots of different ones.
still not as easy and as good as i'd like but then again i'm lazy.
i want to rub it on and rub it off and have it shine like a new penny.

You might also try, its called  ( Happich Simichrome polish)  It comes in a, like toothpaste tube, it is a paste. It comes out of Germany, it been around for ever. Most bike shops have it. This stuff could make wood shine.  If I had nasty Alum. I would wash or soak in Alum. screen door cleaner, then Simichrome it and it would like new.

Ditto that simichrome cooldude
 I have never used a product that works as well as it is advertised than this stuff. I almost believe it would make wood shine!
