Default Hi! Detail Gurus - What aluminum polish does one use on the satin aluminum finish for interior &
which polish does one use on the polished wheels and exhaust tips? I assume they would be different due to the finish. And where does one find them?

Thanks from Dallas where it's 59 deg and now, sob, cloudy

I don't use any. Too much polish would eventually make the satin finish shiny.

I use a little Windex to keep them clean and shiny. Careful not to hit the coated lens glass, tho.

Default Massengill... it's not just an aluminum cleaner, it's also
a douche! Wow, what a versatile product.

Default LOL, I was serious. I use vinegar and water for house windows, appliances, etc.
Doesn't streak if you follow up with a chamois or cloth, doesn't hurt the environment (or anything else) and it's cheap. Have even used it on those gauge lenses with no ill effect. Tested it on the VW's lenses first. ;-)
