if you dont mind doing the work yourself, mothers chrome polish, and billet polish do great wonders on mine. if you have black plastic trim, the back to black is great to keep it looking amazing. i use turtle wax pro for the paint on mine. my uncle uses these same products on his show cars.

Ced, can't help with a polisher, never used one...But what you are getting done depends on how hard it id to maintain..

You can also check the Caswell Plating website, they have a great kit and very good instructions on polishing aluminum.
I used their products and managed to turn this rough cast aluminum intercooler here:

Into this (it took forever and had no fingerprints left after I was done though, haha!).

Yves,
You are a talented guy. Home powder coating on a pro level, engine builing, and now look at the polishing...........
Are you currently looking for a job??
Cheers,
Scott

Hey Scott
I try not to advertise that stuff here (small town) because I'm a bit of a sucker and always end up doing it for free!

Scott will definitely hire you then. If he doesn't then I will. And I've got a bridge for sale
