restore shine to diamond plate rail caps, and maybe wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got a set of diamond plate rails on my 88 k1500 that are very dull, like silver paint and wondered what's good and maybe cheap to use to polish them back up. I tried some automotive rubbing compound, machine polish and mag/alum. polish before in that order on some valve covers and it was acceptable results but not great. I know they were probably shiney polished when new like toolboxes are, but I want to bring em back to life.

Also might want to sand and polish my alloy late 90's style wheels, any tips or step by steps on doing them?
