The best stuff I have found for polishing any metal is a product called wenol. The problem is not many stores have it. The best place to find it is at a swap meet.

You can also try Simichrome polish. This stuff works on chrome , aluminum, stainless etc. You really need to rub but it works well. The Harley contingent really love this stuff for their bikes.

I have this stuff called Flitz that works really good on every type of trim. Makes it shine real nice.

I've used Mother's Mag Polish, with good luck. It's a little hard on the hand, but it shined up my bumpers and cragars with out complaints and also did the faux-chrome on my shifter (all plastic) so I have complete faith in it.

Jon -
Just checking - you are polishing aluminum and not the chrome-plated plastic, right? http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gifMost dash bezels are plastic.
