Raw aluminum oxidation question

[Ron in SoCal]

So I've been building my Camaro 20 years (depnding on who's telling the story, lol)...

I have a few raw aluminum surfaces that have oxidized during that time. What can I use to bring back that fresh look? I'm not looking to polish or brush it if I can avoid it, just a uniform 'fresh' look.

I have some Zoops when I figure this out, but interested in thoughts about that too...

That's gonna be tough Ron cause cleaning AL will leave it brushed or polished. You can try that corrosion remover stuff. Can't remember what it's called but it's supposed to be enviro safe.

I'll try to find it

Thx Brother. Last resort I'm gonna try Mother's wadding polish with Zoops to tone it down...

Vinegar is suspose to work for some things, Mix it 50/50 with water and spray it on, If it isn't to oxidized. Dupont also makes a aluminum cleaner.

i found this best so far, but be careful not too leave it on too long. it will oxidize and turn the casting white.
