Question draglites (cleaning)

I purchased a set of Draglites from a member on here and they have scratches on them. My question is can I ploish those scratches out and make them look good as new? Also what are you guys using to clean your Draglites with? Is forged aluminum the same as polished aluminum?

Thanks,

Can you post pics of how bad they are. If they aren't too bad you can hand polish them with some Mothers aluminium polish and then follow up with some Mothers Billet. The Mothers Billet will make them look better than new.

Unfortanely no I have no pics, I'll try to shoot some this weekend. They are not to say really bad, but you can see the scratches at angles when the sun hits. He mentioned he had dried them with the wrong kind towels and that's what caused the scratches.

Can you purchase Mothers at any auto store? I want to try to see if I can get them out with a hand polish.
