Default Cleaning AR brightwork

Like many all my brushed aluminum trim goes cloudy. I have a 2001 AR. Tried a few things and even the trim around the windows would cloud up. The clearcoat (or laqouer) seems to be gone on most places.

I think I found the miracle cleaner: Eagle One 'Never Dull'

I have used this for years on my wodden classic boats and custom bikes. With no effort at all you wipe it on let it sit until it gets a glazed look and wipe off with clean towel. No hard rubbing at all. Took about 1/2 to do entire car and it looks like new.

Cool tip. I think Eagle 1 makes pretty good stuff. I think their wheel cleaner works the best too.

Hey, I realize I am a little late to the thread party but doesn't the jar warn not to use this on lacquered surfaces? As you said, your trim seemed to be worn down but I would assume for others this may not be the case. Just curious...

it does recommend not to use on laq. finishes. Most of my laq. is worn off already. I thought about buying new rails but the Eagle One cleans them up nice. Not to sure on that warning either. I own a bar and we use it now to clean all out stainless and for over a year now and everything looks great and it helps keep finger prints off for a while
