this is true, but the process can be quite involed, you can sand the anodizeing off will be the slowest, or the oven clean can speed things up, but the best is a chemical called LYE, found in alot of drain decloger type stuff, the coustic soda will stip the anodizeing off in about 15-60 minutes, it will then leave the metal really dull and you can wet sand it then hit it with the buffing wheel and compound and finish off with a mothers type polish, it will look like a mirror when you are done, the only thing is that you will want to hit it with a sealer like zoops to keep it from oxidizeing as air will cause the finish to dull quickly

also theres a killer paste that we use at work called simichrome, it can be found on ebay sometimes and it will make aluminum shine quickly, check it out

I have used Wenol metal polish for years with good results. I like it a whole lot better than Mothers. It is a paste that comes in a tube. Don't know if any of you have tried it or not, but I use it on my Powerball on my wheels, and it keeps them looking great. A little bit of Wenol goes a long way. ...Joe

I've had great results with Flitz.
