POLISH

I used Mothers mag and aluminum polish,readily available, and got my bumpers looking pretty good, then I waxed them to seal. They look way better than they did when I got my rig, they were cloudy and dull, and now are fairly shiny. It sure uses up a lot of rags.
I would like to try Rolite or one of the other products I see out there on the web next time.
