I've used buffing wheels and rouge, you can poke around

to see what that's about. For nicks and gouges, you can go at them with
fine files, then 200-400-600-grit wet & dry sandpaper, and then go at it
with the buffing wheels. I've also had some success using Eagle One
aluminum polish on felt bobs and a die grinder or just my finger and a rag.
For brightening the cast parts, everybody has their favorite, Eagle
One also makes an aluminum brightener as do other companies, the basis
of which is phosphoric acid. You have to be careful what you get it on,
it'll screw up a shiny finish.

around custom auto paint shops.
