We decided to test first. We used the Brillo type steel wool pad on the inside of of a main beam. Looked perfect....twice wet in fresh water and right back to where we started. For us, it was the same as trying to polish a lower case on an outdrive...won't last.
It is also enough work to consider hiring $10 hr day laborers.![Drink](/forums/images/smilies/drink.gif)

Go to any semi truck wash, usually around the big truck stops. They use a type of acid on the semi truck fuel tanks, wheels, etc. Spray on, rinse off. Will turn the aluminum bright, but not shiny polished. Its the only thing that makes my aluminum wheels on my dump truck look decent, especially if theyre pitted like mine are.
