airstream letters and nameplates
does anyone know if the airstream raised letters on the front and back can be cleaned and polished?

Yes they can be made to look pretty good. I had mine media blasted then powder coated. I painted the blue in the center by taping off and spraying with "Sail Blue" rattle can paint.

Polishing them would take a lot of time. Maybe if you had one of those tumbler polishers that Eastwood sells it could work.
