I have been using a product called Xtreem Metal Polish. It works really well for me. There is little to any effort to put it on and you can let it sit for ever and it still comes off easy. I higly reccomend trying it out, you wont be dissapointed. This stuff works on Brass,Magnesium,aluminum,copper. You can even polish dull aluminum with it.

Andy, I was supposed to be in the Finish Line display with my car, along with 2 others cars, but for some reason things got screwed up and the organizers counted FLP's trailer as 3 spots so me and 2 other cars had to be left out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . Did you have the hamburglar there, or did you just go to see the show this time?
