Aluminum Polishing

Strategy:  Degrease with parts washer, scrub with steel wool and aluminum cleaner, polish with Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish.
Result:  Decent shine
Evaluate:  Deep oil stains take a while to remove.


Strategy:  A step further--another pass with steel wool and polish.  Then some application of "Rub 'n' Buff".
Result:  Extreme shine.
Evaluate:  Overkill.  Not sure I'll use that again.  Reinstalled points cover to keep that area free of debris as I attack the frame with rust remover and a wire brush.  See stark contrast below.
